The law was recently changed in Canada. Ten years ago 14 and 15 were allowed. Now the law is 16.
Whether I agree with the relationship or not isn't relevant to me approving of the asylum status. I want my country to grant asylum to any body convicted of a crime in their country; where that is not a crime in Canada. For example, if a woman in the middle east is convicted of not covering her head or something else, I would want her to have a recourse.
