Would this count as pedophilia or be a ''crime''?

weird but legal

I don't even want to do a google search in order to find out if being related by law can be grounds for incest. Wouldn't want the NSA to get the wrong idea about my interests...

That being said, the situation is pretty fucked up. Any parent who "humors" a child when they mistake parental love for romantic love should never have become a parent in the first place.

Its not pedophilia since they aren't blood. Whether its illegal or not, not sure. They are only related by law and it will only be creepy based on how you view our society. These things happen all the time in the animal kingdom.

If the age is fine and both are ok with with that I'm fine with them having sexual relationship. If he isn't his real daughter then I'm even fine with them having a child.

Not sure what anyone would have against this.

Pretty sure you can consider it a parental fail if you raise a child and end up thinking "yeah, I'd tap that ass", blood relation or not.

You meant incest.

My main problem would be the relatively poor life that girl would have.

When she is 18, he is 40 - which could work, but an 18y girl wants to go out and party while a 40y old might have different wishes.

When she is between 25-30 (done with education/beginning a career) she will probably want a child, while he will be in his ~50s - which is extremely late, considering that he will have ~65 when the child hits puberty.

When she reaches 40y old he will be well over 60 - this part could actually work rather well if the child is already grown up and on it's own.

But when she reaches 50y (which is not THAT old) he will be over 70, which (lets be honest) is pretty damn old - none of the "TOOLS" work properly, he would probably want a peaceful life while she (as 50y old) still probably wants to be adventurous and live her life.


And all of that is assuming they don't separate (or divorce), which would make the child remain split between parents, not to mention he would probably kick her out of his house (possibly along with the child)...

Overall it COULD work, but in any case i think it would be a rather risky and poor experience.

In general, relationships with so much generational disparity doesn't end well.

So yeah, all legit lawfully speaking, but things like these should be avoided...if possible.

i got this from a very famous and beloved anime, which had an extremely controversial ending that is still discussed to this day.

I thought this was woody allen lol.

How you think of these mind boggling stupid and utterly random topics is honestly beyond me.

Reading either "Usagi Drop" or "The Tale of Genji" would do the trick.

If she is not blood related, nor below the legal age, then I see no problem here. Most definitely not a crime, so long as both consent and are of legal age. If she is of legal age then it could not be considered pedophilia.

It would be kind of weird, though. But, if they're fine with it, then let it be.

Sounds an awful lot like U.S. President Grover Cleveland who, at the age of 49, married his 21-year old former ward, Frances Folsom.

Sounds a lot like a hundred different hentai series...

Some people even in their 20s prefer not to party you know...

Alright I won't mention where this is brought up from, but let's begin.

A 30 year old man raises an adopted daughter who's family abandoned her, as a single parent. As the girl grows up and eventually becomes a high school student in her last year, she begins to fall in love with her adoptive father, who is now the age of 40. She then confesses her love for her adoptive father, and after much thought, he humors her. They eventually have a child together.

you are one seriously messed up person if this is the kind of thing you speculate on.

Paedophilia? not if she is a legal age. Possibly rape, as its hard to see how that can really be consent, and cetainally its an abuse of the responsibility as a guardian which depending on country is actually a crime.

but really, you need help.

Read The Tale of Genji or Usagi Drop...We have just expanded your mind you are welcome.

If he's the adoptive father, I don't think that could be defined "incest". There's no blood bond between them.

Incest is defined differently depending on which country you live in. In many countries adoptive parents are legally the same as biological parents, therefor this would be incest. In other countries it would not be.

[rogueMatthias]

Well it worked for Woody Allen.

It IS legal, but is it in ANY way responsible or right? No. It's pretty creepy and wrong imo.
A lot of young girls go through phases, and as a college tutor in the past I know it'd be damned easy to take advantage. But even when they're 16, they're still SO young and the worlds entirely different to them. TBH, if he really loved her that much he WOULDn't date her. It's cruel. So what, when she's 30-40 she's going to be looking after a 70 year old?
