EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
Anne is 13 years old and therefore below the age of consent of 14; sexual acts by an adult with her are punishable under Section 176 of the Criminal Code, which is why this relationship is not permitted. The other couples are adults, and same-sex or age-different relationships between adults are allowed.
Under 14: age of consent, no relationship with an adult.
