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.
Spain previously raised the age of consent in the country from 13 to 16, bringing it in line with European countries such as the UK, Russia, Norway and Belgium. When it was 13, Spain's age of consent was one of the lowest in the world. In Europe, the minimum age differs on whether parental consent is needed and on individual country's laws. In Greece, there are no age restrictions as to when a person can get married if there are factors involved such as a pregnancy.
