To understand Nigers asexuality criminalisation, we should see this law as part of a bigger – and growing – global trend among conservatives about ‘traditional families’
The article links to an irrelevant source. What’s the actual law?
I would have to go looking too. But, the article makes it clear it’s an umbrella anti-gay law.
The actual answer to that question, is that they’re going to just ignore the parts that don’t make sense, because there’s no rule of law anyway. Written laws serve as something more like campaign promises, in an authoritarian state.
I think it’s just illegal to “be” asexual.
Under common law in the U.S. that type of law is illegal.
