Abstract

The author takes a critical look at the decision by the Constitutional Court ruling that Article 365 of the Penal Code cannot be considered unconstitutional, which forbids carnal relations with a person of the same sex who is older than 14 but younger than 18 years of age. In his critique, he argues that the majority vote was not grounded and confirms a slanted and twisted use of the claimed sources. He also notes that comparative jurisprudence overrules the position of the Constitutional Court because it is obsolete.
