Sex with idiot or imbecile woman is illegal

GIBRALTAR "In Gibraltar, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman if he knows she is an idiot or an imbecile. Unless, that is, she is his wife." No it's not a joke, it's the first line of an article titled 'An Idiot's Guide to The Law' by Brian Reyes in this morning's Gibraltar Chronicle  that reviews an arcane law in its implications regarding the present age-of-consent ongoing debate. The article also says, "Interestingly, there is no indication that it is an offence for a woman to have sex with a male idiot."
