Question: Can an 18 year old date a 15 year old in Mexico?

The age of consent in Mexico is complex. Typically, Mexican states have a primary age of consent (which may be as low as 12), and sexual conduct with persons below that age is always illegal. The general age of consent in Mexico is 17. The ages of consent in the countries of Central America range from 15 to 18.

17 years old The age of consent in Mexico is 17 years old; therefore, individuals 16 or younger in Mexico are not legally able to consent to sexual activity. Doing so can result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent depending on local law.

The highest Age of Consent in the world is 21 in Bahrain. The second-highest age of consent is 20 in South Korea, while the majority of other countries have an Age of Consent between 16 and 18.
