TI - The Crime of Pedophilia in the Criminal Codes of the Partitioning Countries and the Polish Criminal Code of 1932
AB - The crime of pedophilia, as a separate type of prohibited act, appeared in Poland together with the criminal codes of the partitioning countries. These provisions were in many cases very casuistic, providing a different standard of protection for minors. The Criminal Code of 1932 introduced a uniform standard of protection through the provision of Article 203 penalizing the act of fornication with a minor. The author discusses not only the provisions of the partitioning codes and the Polish Criminal Code of 1932 relating to the crime of pedophilia, but also points to the conflict of these provisions with the provisions of the marriage law in force in Poland, which in some cases allowed children under 15 years of age to marry.
