It is 16+. s48(1) refers to when an adult is also a supervisor (like a teacher, policeman etc) then they must be married to them in order to have sex with a 16-17 year old.

Re: "In some places, there is crime only when a penetration is involved, so women are automatically exonerated."
Obviously it takes two people to achieve consented penetration and both are subject to consent law whether one or both are women or not. Penetration needs defining as oral sex (penile, vaginal or anal) most often involves penetration but might not be what is defined as such by law and I suspect most times excludes oral sex. Unfortunately despite frequent use of the term penetration there is no discussion or explanation what that means in various jurisdictions in the article here or on the more general pages on age of consent - didn't we learn anything from the Bill Clinton fiasco? If penetration does exclude oral sex then the preferred term should be 'sexual intercourse' or 'vaginal and anal sex'. There needs to consistent information delivery using Wiki page-defined terms rather than resorting to terms used in a state's law that vary by jurisdiction. Formal educational resources for young people might be better references than the criminal code. At the moment this page is subject to personal interpretation and that isn't legally or socially responsible. Ericglare (talk) 08:04, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

message: NZ section contains misleading information. NZ did not adopt a gender neutral age of consent until adoption of the Crimes Amendment Act 2005 http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2005/0041/latest/DLM346175.html  Homosexual law reform in 1987 made it possible for a male to have sex with another male from age 16. This brought homosexuality in line with the age of consent for girls. Up to 2005, there was no age of consent for boys having heterosexual sex with girls of legal age. Text in main article amended to correct information originally published, which said NZ had been neutral as regards gender and orientation since homosexual law reform of 1987. It had not until 2005. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.202.129 (talk) 00:46, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
