“I think there is indeed a problem, the girl has an intellectual disability, if identified as a fully incapacitated person, then no sexual defense, if there is no marriage certificate, and the woman during cohabitation sex, the man certainly constitutes the crime of rape, the woman’s Parents as legal guardians may also constitute an accomplice to the crime of rape.
