Age of Consent Around the World The legal Age of Consent varies from 11 to 21 years old from country to country around the world. In some countries, there is no legal age of consent but all sexual relations are forbidden outside of marriage.
Although the age of consent is stipulated at 14 in Portugal, the legality of sexual acts with a minor between 14 and 16 is open to legal interpretation since the law states that it is illegal to perform a sexual act with an adolescent between 14 and 16 years old by taking advantage of their inexperience.he age of consent is called the legal age for sexual activities and must be chosen by states at the age they see fit. (No specific age is recommended.) As of 2015, the convention has been ratified by 38 states, while another 9 states have signed but not yet ratified the convention.
