I have to agree that marc is right in saying that it is illegal to the dot if one partner suddenly ages over this red line in the UK and i think the US as well (?), but i beleive in my country there is a law ( I am not shure ) that if one partner goes over the legal age for gay sex (19 years of age) or a heterosexual couple (17 years of age for sex) and they have been in a managomous relationship for one year proir to the eldest going over the red line, while the other is still under, it is legal. and it unquestionably legal to have sex, under SA law, if you are married, irrespectable of age. The problem lies that under 18's need permision from a guirdian to marry. And, although it is quite legal (for 7 months now) for gay people to marry, i doubt strongly that a guirdian would give his permision for someone to marry his mate if he is gay and under 18.
