Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl. 4 months ago I met a boy with whom we are currently together. The problem is the following. He is an adult we have 4 years difference. My parents are firmly against him. Why I will not explain, but I want to know if they can convict him ... I know that if he raped me they can, but everything is voluntary without violence. I'm afraid if our people decide to make me testify falsely, because then it's different and they can make a problem for him. I will not give it up at least at this stage. I know that life is ahead of me, but I think I am mature enough and if he does not give up on me, I will do everything to be with him. I ask everyone for help and advice! I've read similar articles, but they don't suit me. I have also read the penal code, but this is not of much use to me either, because nothing is written anywhere on the issue of perjury.

In order for him to have a problem, you have to lie that he raped you. False testimony is a serious crime. If your parents really make you do it, it's good to think about whether they care about you, when they are ready to make you break the law and get you in trouble, just to be theirs. I think they're trying to intimidate you into breaking up - they're unlikely to make you lie to the police and the court.
Imprisonment is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. No one has the moral (as well as the legal) right to make you testify falsely. And if you go that way - believe me, the truth will come out. Then you will have to testify against your own parents.
Yours can't make you "testify" unless you're very stupid. If it comes to lawsuits and you can't stand your ground, you better leave the boy. Your mouth is yours and yours can't force you to say this or that. Also, you are a minor, not a minor, so no one can convict him if you don't file a lawsuit (it's useless).
False testimony is a crime. I don't know how you don't know that.
You seem well acquainted. However, no one can make you lie and testify. If many insist in turn you can tell the police. But then you act against your parents. You love him. And your parents make you dump him. Then you can meet secretly. Or having to choose between him and them. Keep in mind that they will interfere with you as long as you allow them. But your life will always be lived by you and not you. Even if you lie to testify, you still have to prove that there was violence. One was convicted last year. However, then it turned out that the girl drank and then had sex. If it was not proven that she drank first. The way out might have been different. This is proven by medical analysis. That they saw you together. That there is a signal, and it is said that he had sex with you. He does not prove that he did. And even less, that this act was violent. If I were him, I would hire a lawyer and take a risk. However, I do not see why you will lie if you do not want and love him. If you do, he will certainly dump you and will not return. And you don't want that.
Well, no one can make you lie. He can also be tried if you were under 14. Now you have to be examined by a doctor for violence. If the doctor says there are no signs of violence, he will not be convicted. So calm down. And yet you think about the fact that he is a man and you are still a teenager, that is, a half-child. You are at a different stage in your life.
Nothing like this will happen. Your parents would be able to convict him if you were under 14, but you are 16. If a lawsuit is filed, the most important testimony will be yours, and lying is illegal and no one has the right to force you to you do it. In addition, rape is earned medically, once everything is done at your request, there will be no signs of rape and the whole process is meaningless.
From the Author, I'm afraid they won't do something to him. I'm punished and I can't go out, let alone see him. I want to be with him a lot. Some time ago I was with another boy, but it wasn't that serious and I was younger. They still disagreed. I gave it up, but I won't do it now because I really love it. And I wonder if I run away with him if something more serious happens and if they can say that he kidnapped me even though it's voluntary. If not with him I will go somewhere else. Thanks for the answers!
If they ask you to testify, you will most likely be alone in front of an interrogator. That is, there will be no foreign influence on the words you will use. Also, the medical certificate will also come in handy that there is no guilt. And you don't run, because 20 is not that old, so I don't know how independent he is to support both of you and in general you never know what he will want. I myself am 20 and I speak to you from experience and observations.
