However, just because someone appears to have given consent does not make it legal. Some people are considered unable to provide consent, such as children or drunk people. People may also consent to unwanted sexual activity.^{[3][clarification needed]}

Age of consent

Every country has an age of consent, which is the youngest age that a person can legally consent to sex.^[4] Any sexual acts involving people under this age are considered rape.
