Concept explainers
The bar graph shows minimum legal ages for sex and marriage in five selected countries. Use this information to solve Exercises 39-40. (We did not include data for the United States because the legal age of sexual consent varies according to state law. Furthermore, women are allowed to marry younger than men: 16 for women and 18 for men.)
