Ngati mtsikana sanakwanitse zaka 16 according to the constitution olo atakugwira pa mkono nkukuuza kuti tiye ku chipinda ndi defilement imeneyo… You are not supposed to sleep with mwana wa less than 16 years even if u are dating. That’s what the law says. Nde ndi mlandube basi.
Many people don’t know this sadly.
They are all juveniles!
Imeneyo si defilement i think. Anakagonako, bwanji sanakuwe if he locked the house or making noise etc. Anagwilizana.
