Age of Consent in Hungary
What is the Hungary Age of Consent?
The Age of Consent in Hungary is 14 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 13 or younger in Hungary are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent local law.
Hungary statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual intercourse with a person under age 14. A close in age exemption allows minors age 12 or over to consent to those under age 18.
Hungary has a close-in-age exemption. A close in age exemptions, commonly known as "Romeo and Juliet law" in the United States, is a law designed to prevent the prosecution of underage couples who engage in consensual sex when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both are below the age of consent.
Depending on the situation, the Hungary close-in-age exemption may completely exempt qualifying close-in-age couples from the age of consent law, or merely provide a legal defence that can be used in the event of prosecution.
