NZ Judge Declares 12-Year-Old Children Can Consent To Sex With Adults

"In the 12th century, Gratian, the influential compiler of canon law in medieval Europe, accepted the age of puberty for marriage (not sex) to be around twelve for girls and around fourteen for boys but acknowledged consent to be meaningful if both children were older than seven years of age. There were authorities that said that such consent for entering marriage could take place earlier. Marriage would then be valid as long as neither of the two parties annulled the marital agreement before reaching puberty, or if they had already consummated the marriage. Judges sometimes honored marriages based on mutual consent at ages younger than seven: in contrast to established canon, there are recorded marriages of two- and three-year-olds."

"The first recorded age-of-consent law dates from 1275 in England; as part of its provisions on rape, the Statute of Westminster 1275 made it a misdemeanor to "ravish" a "maiden within age," whether with or without her consent. The phrase "within age" was later interpreted by jurist Sir Edward Coke (England, 17th century) as meaning the age of marriage, which at the time was twelve years of age"

They are just going back to little house on the prairie days is all.

No - Little House on the Prairie was in the late 1870’s and 1880’s …

In the 1200’s people only lived to their 30’s - so 15 was “middle aged”…

Todays life expectancy to 80 years means there’s no hurry to steal childhood from developing children

When I was 12/13 I would flirt with older men all the time and seduced a few too into sex. So don't think us little girls are innocent. Funny you boys think you can do this and it's ok to have older women, but forget us girls out rank you in maturity by several years when were younger.

This shit is why death is the only acceptable solution to pedophilia. Nothing less than death by slow and painful public torture.

Isn't NZ an elite hangout?

12-year-olds are ignoramuses.
