Gigantism

A female, now 18 years old, was born with a growth disorder that gives her the body of a 9 year old...?

She is in a sexual relationship with a 30 year old man. Do you think society would intervene in this relationship? How do you feel about this relationship? Would you feel the same or different if the situation were reversed--where the underage girl has the body of a mature adult? (Inspired by the movie "Orphan".)

  1. I was about to mention the movie Orphan, but I saw your additional details. to answer your question, if I know that she's already 18, I personally wouldn't care, but I think society would intervene because, initially, they would think the 18yro woman who looks like 9 is only 9.
  2. Society probably would intervene initially, but they would have no legal argument against this.
  3. If she was really a legal adult it would be no ones business. It would be her personal business. If she thought he really liked her and didn't have any unhealthy desires for children, it's up to her. Personally it would probably be extremely uncomfortable for me to be around. The second one is sick. Just because someone it physically mature doesn't make them mentally mature. Just because some one lusts after them means it okay for them to have sex? no.
  4. Society would look down on it either way, but they couldn't legally intervene since they are both consenting adults. You might want to put a spoiler tag in you additional details though...
