Justifications for sexual intercourse without consent in Belgium 2016
Meanwhile, 57 percent of respondents declared that sexual intercourse without consent was justified under no circumstances. Consenting to sexual activity means fully accepting, without constraint or threat, to participate in the sexual activity in question. A person can stop or refuse a sexual act at any moment. Consent can be expressed in words, gestures, behaviors, and others. Furthermore, the person must be legally capable to give consent, which is not the case for children, people with certain health conditions or consume certain medicines.
