Law Regarding Same-sex Sexual Activity

Same-sex sexual activity was legalised in 1977. The age of consent was equalised in 1998 when it was specified as 14 by the Croatian Criminal Code. The acts themselves ban "sexual relations with a child" while it is later defined that a child is a person under the age of 14.

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or activity:

    Concord’s little arch does not span all our fate, nor is what transpires under it law for the universe.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.
    Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
