???????

wait from where did you get their ages?

WAIT I REREAD MY DUMBASS DIDNT SAW THEIR NAME BOXES

Genuine question wouldn't this be considered more grooming than paedophilia as the person isn't a small child

Ehh16 is a legal age to be married off to tho??? Back dated the normal age to be married off is 15, basically is normal age actually. Even the age difference is kinda normal

Holly Molly! Σ( ￣□￣||)
I think that in Japan 16 is a legal age to get married for females with parental consnent and 18 for males
There are a lot of manga normalizing the romantic relationship between hs girls and older men so I guess it s a cultural difference

It would be more acceptable of the uke was 26 and the seme 36
But 16 and 26 there is a huge maturity difference and that s what makes the relationship seem kinda illegal

Crystal generation attacks again

there are different types of pedophilia but people usually just use that term to describe all types. and grooming can start at a very young age too as far as i know.

considering the time the story was set it was probably okay back then

Depends on what ages you believe pedophilia applies to.
Like kids back then got married at ages 15-18. Would an 18 year old marrying a 15 years old now be considered pedophilia now? Yes, in some countries as 18 is the legal adult age, while 15 is a minor, with a mental maturity gap.
Back then? No, not really.
But in Japan, the legal marriage age is 16. But the legal marriage age is 18 or 21 in others, in those nations, a 21 year old marrying a 16 year old looks like pedophilia, but in others, it's not.
"Pedophilia" is a concept which age gap varies based on legal "adult age", culture and well, which era it is. There is no specific ages for pedophilia. Like a 60 year old marrying a 20 year old is technically not considered pedophilia, as the 20 year old is mature.

Maturity back then depends on various factors too, sexual maturity(period) is age 12 (there are 12 year old brides in some cultures) , body maturity (15-18), mental maturity (21-23 widely thought in most Western nations). Pedophilia also depends on what age they think the person is *mature* at too. Basically, ages from sexual maturity and up are not considered pedophilia in some cultures or historical places, because they have different ideas of what age is considered mature & minor.
In modern society, we generally feel that the age when someone is considered to be an adult is 18-21 years old, which is why we feel any age younger than that is considered to be pedo.

I gues different culture different perspectives, honestly this happen a lot in asia, i got quite a lot of asian friend that married with quite gap the widest is 17 years, she being 18 at the time they were married

Thats why i cant agree with the comment it being repulsive

Yesss exactly damn why cant i like the reply

lmao yes 18 yo marrying a 15 yo counts as pedophilia, just because it was the norm back then doesnt mean that its morally right.

why 18 with a 15 is problematic is because the level of maturity. during these years people's mind changes drastically. heck a person can change so much in one year.

just because its legally ok doesnt mean its alright guys.

the age gap isnt the problem here, the problem is the dude being underage. I wouldnt have a problem with it if they were like 25 and 35 as theyre both consenting adults

also legal age doesnt mean shit. Theres countries that have 13 as a legal age, so let me ask you this: Would you find it okay for your 13 y.o. CHILD to sleep with/be in a relationship with A WHOLE ASS ADULT???? No you wouldnt.

Exactly
