In Sweden, there have been a few cases where there's some kind of Romeo and Juliet judgement call when the two parties have been very close in age and it was deemed consensual etc, e.g. one case where one party was 17 and the younger was 14.
But otherwise, 15 is the legal limit for sexual relations of any kind, except in some cases where the age limit is 18, e.g. if you want to get with an aunt or a step dad or something, I think.
Sex with your own child or adoptive child is illegal regardless of the child's age.
Sex between two parties both younger than 15 is not punishable because they would both be below the legal age of sentencing. If that's how you say that. You get it.
Other than that? 40+ and 15, perfectly legal. But yeah, frowned upon, surely.
