    :arrow: [i]Russia May Allow 14 year olds To Marry but Not Sex

    Russia's parliament The Duma is considering a bill which would allow localities to approve marriages amongst teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16. "Special circumstances" would determine who could marry and who couldn't.

    The only problem is that a similar bill is being considered which will raise the age of consent from age 14 up to age 16. This law is part of an effort to combat sexual slavery and child pornography.

    If both bills pass, 14 year olds will marry but will not be allowed to have sex. When compared to Western countries, Russians marry at younger ages. Russians are also known to divorce more frequently too and the divorce rate is estimated at 65%.

    Whoa, that sounds like a sex based Catch-22.

    It is like telling someone you can have sex just as long as you stay 10 feet away from them during intercourse.
