Disability is not Inability

:: Defilement

Defilement is defined in Kenyan law as having sex with a boy or girl under the age of 16, mainly obtained under threat, force or intimidation of any kind, fear of bodily harm or misrepresentation as to the nature of the act.

If the girl or boy is less than 16 years then s/he is deemed incapable of consenting to sex in law and therefore sex with her is considered rape even with her consent.

Technically in law the rape of a girl below 16 years is termed defilement.
