Jabarkan Undang-undang dari Cukup umur dalam bahasa melayu

Hubungan seksual dengan seseorang bawah usia boleh menjadi kesalahan jenayah dengan hukuman dari perkhidmatan masyarakat hingga hukuman mati. Banyak jenis istilah berbeza bagi pertuduhan dan termasuk penderaan seksual kanak-kanak, rogol statutori, pengetahuan karnal haram ("illegal carnal knowledge"), dan merosakkan kanak-kanak bawah usia.

The age at which a person can be legally married can also differ from the age of consent. In jurisdictions where the marriageable age is lower than the age of consent, those laws override the age of consent laws, at least as they apply to the spouse. Further still, some jurisdictions prohibit any sex outside of marriage, which can take place at any age, as in the case of Yemen.
