Critical Analysis of Twilight Question

Didn't Bella rape Edward ? Instead of him raping here ? ( More reasons in the description)

Okay the reason asked was because here the rules are ( not sure about America):
If an adult ( 18 or over) decides to have intercourse with someone not an adult yet.
Its called sexual assualt ! It doesn't matter if your married having a sexual relationship is also rape.
So likely Edward is 17 and Bella is 18 and well they had sex so ...
Any ideas ?
:)

In America, where Twilight was written, if an adult (18 or over) has sex with someone under the age of consent (that varies place to place, but generally the age of consent is 15) it's considered rape. If the person is the age of consent or over, it's not. So, in that logic, Bella didn't rape Edward.

Also, Edwards been "17" for over a hundred years, so I'm pretty sure he's safe from Bella's advances either way.

Huh, that's strange, I was told it was 16. So I don't have to wait 11 days after all! =)

Well, it depends on where you live. [i]Generally [/i] it's 15 or 16. Here's a link: link

No, not really. Yes, Edward is a minor. But he's above the age of consent, and Bella is only a year older than he is. So I wouldn't call it statutory rape at all.

What would make it scandulous is if Bella was 21-years-old or older.

he "ages" in the series too, he's supposedly 18, he is just frozen with the looks of a 17 year old.
Plus you have to be 18 to get married without parental permission (which he has anyways, but still)

But Stephenie Meyer particulary said he stayed "17"...

But humans would ask questions if he always stayed the same age, so the cullens say he turns 18 or whatever even if his body is frozen as a 17 year-old

In Poland Bella is safe - legally, two people can have sex when they are 16, if they both want of course ;)
