Many also stipulate conditions under which adults are deemed incapable of consenting, such as being asleep or unconscious, <a href="/wiki/Drugs_and_sexual_consent" title="Drugs and sexual consent">intoxicated by alcohol or another drug</a>, mentally or physically disabled, or deceived as to the nature of the act or the identity of the alleged perpetrator (<a href="/wiki/Rape_by_deception" title="Rape by deception">rape by deception</a>). Most disagreement is on whether rape legislation for otherwise healthy adults capable of consent should be based on them not having given consent to having sex, or based on them being forced through violence or threats to have sex. Some legislation determines that, as long as no coercion is used against them, people capable of consenting always automatically consent to sex (<a href="/wiki/Implied_consent" title="Implied consent">implied consent</a>), whereas other laws stipulate that giving or withholding consent is something which only capable individuals can do on their own volition (<a href="/wiki/Affirmative_consent" class="mw-redirect" title="Affirmative consent">freely given or affirmative consent</a>). The 2000s and 2010s have seen a shift in favour of consent-based legislation, which was increasingly considered as providing better guarantees for the legal protection of (potential) victims of sexual violence. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Coercion-based_versus_consent-based_laws">Coercion-based versus consent-based laws</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Coercion-based versus consent-based laws">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Consent_(criminal_law)" title="Consent (criminal law)">Consent (criminal law)</a></div> In legal theory, there are two main models in legislation against rape and other forms of sexual violence: <ol><li>The coercion-based model "requires that the sexual act was done by coercion, violence, physical force or threat of violence or physical force in order for the act to amount to rape";<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a></li> <li>The consent-based model "requires that for the act to qualify as rape there must be a sexual act that the other one did not consent to".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a></li></ol> The primary advantage of the coercion-based model is that it makes it difficult to make a <a href="/wiki/False_accusation_of_rape" title="False accusation of rape">false accusation of rape or assault</a>, and thus provides decent protection to the legal position and social reputation of suspects who are innocent.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a> This line of reasoning stems from a time (dating at least as far back as the 18th century) when sex was regarded as a private matter that the state and society should mostly not interfere with, and concerns about sexual violence were mostly limited to male-on-female rape, which was firstly regarded as an offence to public morality, especially the female victim's family (her father, husband or master).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a> In the decades of the later 20th and early 21st century, the focus of sexual violence has shifted towards individual sexual autonomy, the scope has broadened beyond the act of intercourse, the set of potential victims and perpetrators has been expanded to include all genders, strangers as well as acquaintances and people close to the victims including intimate partners and even spouses, while social and legal attitudes have changed in favour of more active societal and state intervention in sexual violence and the attainment of justice.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a> Individuals and human rights organisations increasingly criticised the coercion-based model for a variety of reasons, such as the requirement for the victim to actively resist an assault (thereby failing to address cases where victims are unconscious, intoxicated, asleep or suffer from <a href="/wiki/Rape_paralysis" title="Rape paralysis">involuntary paralysis – also known as "freezing"</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> – due to fear or other state of helplessness, and thus unable to resist an assault) or not wear certain kinds of clothes to not 'provoke' an assault (shifting the responsibility for the crime from the perpetrator unto the victim), or the focus on physical violence (thereby failing to consider that a perpetrator sometimes needs to use little to no physical violence in order to conduct an assault, e.g. when the victim is unconscious, intoxicated, asleep or involuntarily paralysed; and also failing to address <a href="/wiki/Effects_and_aftermath_of_rape" title="Effects and aftermath of rape">mental and psychological harm caused by rape and assault</a>).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a> The consent-based model has been advocated as a better alternative for enhanced legal protection of victims, and to place a larger responsibility on potential perpetrators to actively verify or falsify before initiating sex whether a potential victim actually consents to initiating sex or not, and abstaining from it as long as they do not.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKoljonen2019-1">[1]</a> In contrast, legal scholar <a href="/wiki/Jed_Rubenfeld" title="Jed Rubenfeld">Jed Rubenfeld</a> argued in a 2013 review that rape laws intend to protect sexual autonomy, yet the only thing that can override somebody's autonomy is coercion, threats, or abusing a state of defenselessness.<a href="#cite_note-Rubenfeld-3">[3]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">page needed</a>] Strictly speaking, Rubenfeld (invoking Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Berkowitz 1994) claimed that any non-consensual situation can be resolved by standing up and leaving the premises, as he deemed <a href="/wiki/Rape_paralysis" title="Rape paralysis">rape paralysis</a> to be nonexistent.<a href="#cite_note-Rubenfeld-3">[3]</a>: 67–68  In civil law, consent is viewed as invalid if it has been obtained by deception. Consent-based rape laws, however, generally do not require either sexual partner to be truthful before obtaining consent. If sexual consent can be obtained by lies or withholding information, the autonomy of the partner is violated.<a href="#cite_note-Rubenfeld-3">[3]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">page needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="International_standards,_definitions_and_jurisprudence">International standards, definitions and jurisprudence</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: International standards, definitions and jurisprudence">edit</a>]</div> As of 2018, a consensus is emerging in international law that the consent-based model is to be preferred, stimulated by inter alia the <a href="/wiki/CEDAW_Committee" class="mw-redirect" title="CEDAW Committee">CEDAW Committee</a>,<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> the UN Handbook for Legislation on Violence against Women,<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> the <a href="/wiki/International_Criminal_Court" title="International Criminal Court">International Criminal Court</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Convention_on_preventing_and_combating_violence_against_women_and_domestic_violence" class="mw-redirect" title="Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence">Istanbul Convention</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmnesty_International20188,_10–11-6">[6]</a> However, there were no internationally agreed upon legal definitions of what constitutes sexual consent; such definitions were absent in human rights instruments.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmnesty_International201810-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="International_law">International law</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: International law">edit</a>]</div> In international law, one of the earliest definitions of rape based on a lack of consent, accompanied by a description of consent, can be found in Prosecutor v.

Egypt, and Morocco, all have signed the <a href="/wiki/Maputo_Protocol" title="Maputo Protocol">Maputo Protocol</a>, which requires member states to effectively prohibit "all forms of violence against women including unwanted or forced sex".<a href="#cite_note-Maputo-14">[13]</a> The following states have not yet introduced consent-based legislation: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Algeria" title="Algeria">Algeria</a>: There is no clear definition of rape in Algerian law; Article 333 of its Penal Code only criminalises "anyone who has committed a public outrage against decency", and in similar words "public outrage against decency consisting of an unnatural act with an individual of the same sex". This gives no indication or distinction whether the people involved in the acts are consenting to it or not, merely that the public is supposedly outraged by such acts. Article 334 prohibits "(attempted) assault against decency without violence against a person of either sex younger than 16" (the Algerian age of consent), but against adults only "(attempted) assault against decency with violence" (Article 335) is banned. The lack of unambiguous definitions and explicit criminalisation of marital rape in either the Penal Code or other laws such as Law no.15-19 against domestic violence (2015) has been criticised by the <a href="/wiki/CEDAW_Committee" class="mw-redirect" title="CEDAW Committee">CEDAW Committee</a> and human rights organisations, which urged Algeria to adopt clear, consent-based legislation.<a href="#cite_note-92">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-93">[86]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo" title="Democratic Republic of the Congo">Democratic Republic of the Congo</a>: Although the Law Amending the Penal Code (2006) criminalised "any act contrary to morals intentionally and directly carried out on a person without the valid consent of that person" as "indecent assault" (Article 167), Article 170 states: "Rape is committed by the use or threat of violence or serious harm or force against a person, directly or through an intermediary or through a third party, either by surprise, by psychological pressure or in the context of a coercive environment or by abusing a person who, because of an illness, the impairment of his or her faculties or any other accidental reason has lost the use of his or her faculties or has been deprived of them by tricks".<a href="#cite_note-94">[87]</a><a href="#cite_note-CRR_2007-89">[82]</a> Moreover, the legal definition of rape does not include spousal rape;<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECountry_Reports_on_Human_Rights_Practices2017[httpswebarchiveorgweb20180422124347httpswwwstategovjdrlrlshrrpt2017af276987htm_Democratic_Republic_of_Congo]-95">[88]</a> customary law holds that sex within marriage is consensual by definition.<a href="#cite_note-The_State_of_African_Women-96">[89]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ethiopia" title="Ethiopia">Ethiopia</a>: Criminal Code Article 620 states that rape is committed by "whoever compels a woman to submit to sexual intercourse outside wedlock, whether by the use of violence or grave intimidation, or after having rendered her unconscious or incapable of resistance", thus placing responsibility on the victim to resist her attacker until she is overcome by coercion, and exempting marital rape from prosecution.<a href="#cite_note-97">[90]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Morocco" title="Morocco">Morocco</a>: Article 485 of Morocco's Penal Code (15 September 2011 revision) describes "assault on decency" as a crime that is "committed or attempted with violence against persons of either sex." According to Article 486, "Rape is the act by which a man has sexual relations with a woman against her will." A number of persons deemed to be vulnerable are afforded extra protection by double punishment of the perpetrator (10 to 20 years in prison instead of 5 to 10).<a href="#cite_note-98">[91]</a> <ul><li>The current status of marital rape in Morocco is unclear. Although it is frequently challenged, most authorities appear to state that is legal. In March 2013, the Moroccan Minister of Justice stated that marital rape could not be criminalised: "you can't deprive a man of what is rightfully his."<a href="#cite_note-99">[92]</a> According to the <a href="/wiki/USDOS" class="mw-redirect" title="USDOS">USDOS</a> in 2017, spousal rape was not a crime.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECountry_Reports_on_Human_Rights_Practices2017[httpswebarchiveorgweb20180422124811httpswwwstategovjdrlrlshrrpt2017nea277257htm_Morocco]-100">[93]</a> The "Hakkaoui Law" (named after Minister for Family Affairs and Women's Issues, <a href="/wiki/Bassima_Hakkaoui" title="Bassima Hakkaoui">Bassima Hakkaoui</a>) criminalised violence against women in September 2018, but failed to address marital rape.<a href="#cite_note-101">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-102">[95]</a> However, a May 2022 ruling by the Family Court of Rabat rejected a man's request to compel his wife to have intercourse with him. The court stated that per Article 51 of Morocco's Family Code, sexual intercourse "is a right and duty of both the husband and the wife" and argued that the wife's refusal is a practice of the said right. It further "considered that the aim of sexual intercourse within marriage was not only to satisfy instinctive desires but also to share the etiquette of cohabitation, which must be adhered to by the spouses and followed only by mutual consent."<a href="#cite_note-103">[96]</a></li></ul></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sudan" title="Sudan">Sudan</a>: Some attempts had been made under al-Bashir's rule (1989–2019) to reform legislation on issues such as extramarital <a href="/wiki/Rape_victim_blaming" class="mw-redirect" title="Rape victim blaming">rape victim blaming</a> via '<a href="/wiki/Adultery" title="Adultery">adultery</a>', and impunity for marital rape, by amending the definition of rape in Article 149.1 of the Criminal Code in February 2015. However, several commentators such as the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies argued that this amendment had a number of flaws. Even though the amendment made it possible to prosecute marital rape by removing the reference to adultery, there is still no specific prohibition of marital rape, and oral rape is not criminalised. Moreover, Article 149.2 still defined adultery and sodomy as forms of 'rape', so complainants still risked being prosecuted for adultery or sodomy if they failed to prove they were subjected to sexual acts without their consent. Finally, the importance of consent was diminished in favour of coercion, going against the trend in international law to define sexual violence by lack of consent.<a href="#cite_note-Sudan_2016-104">[97]</a> On 22 April 2020, during the <a href="/wiki/2019%E2%80%932022_Sudanese_transition_to_democracy" class="mw-redirect" title="2019–2022 Sudanese transition to democracy">Sudanese transition to democracy</a>, the <a href="/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Sudan#Law_regarding_anal_sex" class="mw-redirect" title="LGBT rights in Sudan">sodomy law</a> was amended: male participants in <a href="/wiki/Anal_sex" title="Anal sex">anal sex</a> (sodomy, whether between two men or between a man and a woman, with or without consent) were no longer punishable by death or flogging, but still punishable by imprisonment.<a href="#cite_note-Barkawi-105">[98]</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Americas">Americas</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Americas">edit</a>]</div> All 35 sovereign states in the Americas (<a href="/wiki/Cuba%E2%80%93OAS_relations" title="Cuba–OAS relations">Cuba's status being unclear</a>) are <a href="/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Organization_of_American_States" title="Member states of the Organization of American States">members</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Organization_of_American_States" title="Organization of American States">Organization of American States</a>.

"Rape" (violación) is defined as "A person [having] carnal access, vaginally, anally or buccally, to a person over fourteen years of age, in any of the following cases: (1) When force or intimidation is used, (2) When the victim is deprived of consciousness, or when their incapacity to oppose is taken advantage of, or (3) When the alienation or mental disorder of the victim is abused." The only mention of 'consent' (consentimiento) is in Article 366, which mentions "the use of surprise" as an example of an "[abusive] manoeuvre that does not imply the consent of the victim", and by which the perpetrator can "abusively [perform] a sexual action other than carnal access with a person over fourteen years of age". In short, unless the perpetrator uses force or intimidation, or an abusive manoeuvre to undermine the other person's opposition, or takes advantage of the other person's pre-existing incapacity to oppose the sexual violence, the consent of every person aged at least 14 is presumed.

Only Article 170 "Sexual abuse" (which is done "against the will of another") and Article 171 "Rape" (Violación) can be committed against people aged 18 or older. Rape is committed in three scenarios: (1) "When the victim is deprived of reason or sense, or [unable to] resist", (2) "When violence, threat or intimidation is used.", (3) "When the victim is under fourteen years of age." Curiously, the crime described in Article 172, namely "[using someone] to force them to display their body totally or partially for purposes of a sexual nature", can only be committed against "girls, boys or adolescents, people over sixty-five years of age or people with disabilities", but doing so against able-bodied adults aged 18 to 64 is presumably not punishable.<a href="#cite_note-117">[110]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Greenland" title="Greenland">Greenland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Faroe_Islands" title="Faroe Islands">Faroe Islands</a>: As an autonomous country within the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Denmark" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom of Denmark">Kingdom of Denmark</a>, Greenland originally had the same Criminal Code as Denmark itself, but since 1954, Greenlandic legislation and jurisprudence have developed autonomously from Denmark.

In lesser crimes it plays a central role, such as Article 176 "Touching, acts of sexual connotation or libidinous acts without consent" ("Whoever, without the purpose of having carnal access regulated by article 170, performs on a person, without their free consent, touching, acts of sexual connotation or libidinous acts, in their intimate parts or in any part of their body...") and Article 176-B "Sexual harassment" ("Whoever, in any way, monitors, persecutes, harasses, besieges or seeks to establish contact or closeness with a person, without the consent of the latter, to carry out acts of sexual connotation..."). However, the most severe sex crimes in the Peruvian Penal Code are based on the perpetrator's use of coercion, the victim's inability resist, or the victim's incapacity to consent. Sexual violation (Article 170) is described as "The one that with violence, physical or psychological, serious threat or taking advantage of an environment of coercion or any other environment that prevents the person from giving their free consent, forces the person to have carnal access vaginally, anally or buccally or performs any another analogous act with the introduction of an object or part of the body by any of the first two ways...". Article 171 deals with "Rape of a person in a state of unconsciousness or unable to resist", Article 172 with "Violation of a person incapable of giving their free consent", Article 173 with "Sexual violation of a minor", Article 174 with "Violation of a person under authority or surveillance", and Article 175 with "Sexual violation through deceit".<a href="#cite_note-119">[112]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Uruguay" title="Uruguay">Uruguay</a>: Consent plays no role in the Articles 272–277 about "carnal violence" (violencia carnal) in the Penal Code of Uruguay (2000 revision). Article 272 "Rape" (Violación) states: "A person commits rape who compels a person of the same or of the opposite sex, with violence or threats, to suffer carnal union, even if the act is not consummated." This wording implicitly criminalises marital rape. The article goes on to list four types of scenarios in which "violence is presumed" to have taken place. Article 273 states that "Violent indecent assault is committed (...) through the means established in the previous article, or taking advantage of the circumstances set forth therein, [by performing] obscene acts (...) other than carnal union". Article 275 Estupro essentially describes <a href="/wiki/Rape_by_deception" title="Rape by deception">rape by deception</a> through a false promise of marriage to "a female maiden/virgin (mujer doncella) under the age of twenty years and over the age of fifteen years".<a href="#cite_note-120">[113]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Venezuela" title="Venezuela">Venezuela</a>: The Penal Code of Venezuela (2005 revision) is almost entirely coercion-based. Article 374 sets out the conditions for rape: "Whoever by means of violence or threats has constrained any person, of one or the other sex, to a carnal act by vaginal, anal or oral route, or introduction of objects by any of the first two routes, or by oral an object that simulates sexual objects is introduced, the person responsible will be punished, as accused of rape, with a prison sentence of ten to fifteen years." It adds four types of scenarios in which "violence or threats" are not necessary, but by definition constitute rape: (1) anyone with someone below the age of 13, (2) a relative abusing their familial ties with someone below the age of 16, (3) a prison guard with a detainee/prisoner, or (4) anyone with someone who is unable to resist due to physical or mental illness, or deception or narcotic/exciting substances used by the perpetrator. The Penal Code only invokes consent in very specific rape by deception cases under Article 378: "The carnal act performed on a woman over sixteen years of age and under twenty-one with her consent, is punishable when there is seduction with a marriage promise and the woman is known to be honest; in such a case, the penalty will be from six months to one year in prison." This provision is similar to another in Article 384 on abduction of "a minor or a married woman" who "has given her consent" (that is, <a href="/wiki/Elopement" title="Elopement">elopement</a>), which is punished with "imprisonment for a term of six months to two years."<a href="#cite_note-121">[114]</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Asia">Asia</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Asia">edit</a>]</div> Asia does not have a continent-wide legal system. <a href="/wiki/ASEAN" title="ASEAN">ASEAN</a>, comprising <a href="/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Association_of_Southeast_Asian_Nations" class="mw-redirect" title="Member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations">10 Asian states</a>, signed the 2013 Declaration on Violence against Women and Children.<a href="#cite_note-ASEAN_RPA-15">[14]</a>: vi  The 2016 ASEAN RPA on EVAW recognised several forms of sexual violence based on a lack of consent,<a href="#cite_note-ASEAN_RPA-15">[14]</a>: 66–67 <a href="#cite_note-ASEAN_RPA-17">[b]</a> and called on all 10 member states to criminalise marital rape; 4 of them had already done so as of February 2016.<a href="#cite_note-ASEAN_RPA-15">[14]</a>: 8, 51–53, 60  The following states have coercion-based legislation: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>: The Afghan Penal Code was amended in 2017, containing Article 636 which states: "A person who commits sexual intercourse or inserts body parts or other objects into the victim's vagina or anus by using force, means of threat, or using a victim's physical or mental inability to express consent or lack of consent (Male or Female), or giving anesthetic substances or other mental affecting drugs, is considered as a perpetrator of rape."<a href="#cite_note-122">[115]</a> This appears to criminalise marital rape as well.

This description does not make clear whether affirmative consent is required to have sex (or conversely, whether a lack of affirmative consent can result in a sexual offense), but both 'Section 130.25 Rape in the third degree (3)' and 'Section 130.40 Criminal sexual act in the third degree (3)' do provide this possibility in the form of catch-all clauses by stating that, whenever there is a "lack of consent (...) by reason of some factor other than incapacity to consent", this is sufficient for the sexual act to amount to a crime.<a href="#cite_note-209">[194]</a><a href="#cite_note-RAINN_New_York-210">[195]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/North_Carolina" title="North Carolina">North Carolina</a>: The <a href="/wiki/Law_of_North_Carolina" title="Law of North Carolina">North Carolina General Statutes</a> do not define consent; § 14-27.20 only states that the phrase "against the will of the other person" means either "without consent of the other person" or "after consent is revoked by the other person, in a manner that would cause a reasonable person to believe consent is revoked".

Submission resulting from the use of force, threat of force, or placing another person in fear also does not constitute consent. A current or previous dating or social or sexual relationship by itself or the manner of dress of the person involved with the accused in the conduct at issue does not constitute consent.</dd> <dd>(B) A sleeping, unconscious, or incompetent person cannot consent. A person cannot consent to force causing or likely to cause death or grievous bodily harm or to being rendered unconscious. A person cannot consent while under threat or in fear or under the circumstances described in subparagraph (B) or (C) of subsection (b)(1).</dd> <dd>(C) All the surrounding circumstances are to be considered in determining whether a person gave consent.</dd></dl> (8) Incapable of consenting. —The term "incapable of consenting" means the person is— <dl><dd>(A) incapable of appraising the nature of the conduct at issue; or</dd> <dd>(B) physically incapable of declining participation in, or communicating unwillingess to engage in, the sexual act at issue.<a href="#cite_note-231">[215]</a></dd></dl></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Canon_law_of_the_Catholic_Church">Canon law of the Catholic Church</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Canon law of the Catholic Church">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/1983_Code_of_Canon_Law#Book_VI._Sanctions_in_the_Church_(Cann._1311–1399)" title="1983 Code of Canon Law">1983 Code of Canon Law § Book VI.

The Catholic Church's <a href="/wiki/Ten_Commandments_in_Catholic_theology#sixth_commandment" title="Ten Commandments in Catholic theology">interpretation of the sixth commandment</a> is much broader than just <a href="/wiki/Adultery" title="Adultery">adultery</a> (<a href="/wiki/Extramarital_sex" title="Extramarital sex">extramarital sex</a>), and concerns a set of so-called "offences against chastity". The revised provisions on sexual offences are derived from this broad interpretation of the sixth commandment. The provisions in Canon 1395 §3. are coercion-based, as they require evidence of the use of "force, threats or abuse of his authority", while Canon 1398 §1. describes sexual offences in which the victim was deemed incapable of consenting (because of "habitually [having] an imperfect use of reason"). There is no freely given sexual consent for people deemed capable of consenting.<a href="#cite_note-Canon_law_2021-171">[156]</a> Canon 1395 §3. states: <blockquote>A cleric who by force, threats or abuse of his authority commits an offence against the sixth commandment of the Decalogue or forces someone to perform or submit to sexual acts is to be punished with the same penalty as in § 2 [i.e. punished with just penalties, not excluding dismissal from the clerical state if the case so warrants].<a href="#cite_note-Canon_law_2021-171">[156]</a></blockquote> Canon 1398 §1. states: <blockquote>A cleric is to be punished with deprivation of office and with other just penalties, not excluding, where the case calls for it, dismissal from the clerical state, if he: <ol><li>commits an offence against the sixth commandment of the Decalogue with a minor or with a person who habitually has an imperfect use of reason or with one to whom the law recognises equal protection;</li> <li>grooms or induces a minor or a person who habitually has an imperfect use of reason or one to whom the law recognises equal protection to expose himself or herself pornographically or to take part in pornographic exhibitions, whether real or simulated;</li> <li>immorally acquires, retains, exhibits or distributes, in whatever manner and by whatever technology, pornographic images of minors or of persons who habitually have an imperfect use of reason.<a href="#cite_note-Canon_law_2021-171">[156]</a></li></ol></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Effect_on_conviction_rates">Effect on conviction rates</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Effect on conviction rates">edit</a>]</div> In June 2020, the <a href="/wiki/Swedish_National_Council_for_Crime_Prevention" title="Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention">Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention</a> (Bra) reported that the number of rape convictions had increased from 190 in 2017 to 333 in 2019, a rise of 75% after Sweden adopted a consent-based definition of rape in May 2018; reports of rape rose by 21% in the same period. Furthermore, the introduction of the new offence of 'negligent rape' – for cases where courts found consent had not been established, but that the perpetrator had not intended to commit rape – led to the conviction of 12 people. Bra was positively surprised by this greater-than-expected impact, saying "this has led to greater justice for victims of rape," and hoping it would improve social attitudes towards sex. <a href="/wiki/Amnesty_International" title="Amnesty International">Amnesty International</a> regarded the results as evidence that other countries should also adopt consent-based legislation in order to protect (potential) victims of sexual violence better.<a href="#cite_note-233">[217]</a> Contrary to what some opponents of consent-based legislation have argued, "recent research in countries such as Britain where sex without consent is considered rape, shows that false accusations have not gone up dramatically." Oxford legal professor Jonathan Herring stated in January 2021 that the main remaining problems in the UK are proving "beyond all reasonable doubt" the victim did not consent, and that many juries "still believe in '<a href="/wiki/Rape_myths" class="mw-redirect" title="Rape myths">rape myths</a>', eg. that the victim who is drunk or in a club is consenting to sex."<a href="#cite_note-Bondolfi-183">[168]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historical_laws">Historical laws</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: Historical laws">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/History_of_rape" title="History of rape">History of rape</a></div> Most pre-modern laws were concerned with sexual offences as disturbances of the social order, especially of what a man might do to/with a woman he was not married to, regardless of whether she consented to it or not.<a href="#cite_note-Scholz_2021-234">[218]</a><a href="#cite_note-Duque-235">[219]</a> In some rare cases, however, pre-modern laws did consider the (lack of) consent of a person (particularly a woman) involved a relevant factor in determining whether or not a sexual offence had occurred.

Furthermore, there is the issue of which concept of 'consent' should be implemented. For example, scientific studies have been strong proponents for a holistically viewed definition which includes contextual cues and interpersonal dynamics.<a href="#cite_note-241">[225]</a><a href="#cite_note-242">[226]</a> However, this may be too broad for effective enforcement of consent-based legislation due to challenges with <a href="/wiki/Legal_certainty" title="Legal certainty">legal certainty</a>, a principle which holds that the law must provide those subject to it with the ability to regulate their conduct with certainty.<a href="#cite_note-243">[227]</a> On the other hand, the interpretation of consent in certain legal jurisdictions is too narrow, as it encompasses solely verbal consent.<a href="#cite_note-244">[228]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pervasiveness_of_rape_myths">Pervasiveness of rape myths</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Pervasiveness of rape myths">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/Rape_myth" title="Rape myth">Rape myths</a> are a heavily discussed barrier to effective enforcement of <a href="/wiki/Laws_regarding_rape" title="Laws regarding rape">rape legislation</a> in general. However, consent-based legislation is particularly vulnerable to the potential negative consequences that such myths may have on its enforcement. The prevalence<a href="#cite_note-245">[229]</a> of such myths in society poses a challenge for the enforcement of consent-based rape legislation. Firstly, they are a large problem in jury trials; as misperceptions of victim behaviour often lead to assumptions of 'false allegations'.<a href="#cite_note-246">[230]</a> Secondly, such myths and false stereotypes are present in law enforcement as well as in other actors within the <a href="/wiki/Criminal_justice_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Criminal justice system">criminal justice system</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Scheppele-247">[231]</a> This has numerous negative effects including prejudiced filtering out of rape complaints, deeming 'simple rape' cases as 'unfounded' and promoting the lack of credibility of victims through skewing false allegation statistics.<a href="#cite_note-248">[232]</a><a href="#cite_note-249">[233]</a> This prejudice within the criminal justice system against the "word of a woman" creates a great barrier to the effective enforcement of rape legislation, but particularly consent-based, as the latter often results in "he-said, she-said" type scenarios.<a href="#cite_note-Scheppele-247">[231]</a><a href="#cite_note-250">[234]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Difficulties_with_procedural_justice_for_rape_survivors">Difficulties with procedural justice for rape survivors</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sexual_consent_in_law&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Difficulties with procedural justice for rape survivors">edit</a>]</div> Another primary barrier to the effective enforcement of consent-based rape legislation concerns issues with the criminal justice system itself. Rape survivors are often wary of filing a complaint and participating in a trial.<a href="#cite_note-Brooks-Hay-251">[235]</a> Contrary to the stereotype of rape survivors mainly wishing for retributive justice, several surveys have found a desire to protect others as the primary reason for reporting their offenders.<a href="#cite_note-Brooks-Hay-251">[235]</a> Furthermore, many rape survivors face great personal obstacles within a trial setting: often being berated in aggressive cross-examinations, humiliated with inappropriate and irrelevant questions and intimidated by the assailant's friends and families in the courtroom.<a href="#cite_note-252">[236]</a> This dissuades victims from coming forward and filing complaints.
