If a underage woman has children with a underage man they would have to lock both of them up in jail or prison and take the children away and give them to someone who is not on welfare to take care of them, Otherwise the person who is underage could keep on having children with other people who are underage if they are not locked in jail. If someone under age has children with someone over age then you could just lock the over age person in jail and force adoption instead of welfare
@shortstories - Sounds overly complicated to me. Speaking hypothetically, I would do things differently.
Prison and welfare are expensive. And forced adoption comes with too many hazards for the adoptees. I would have people keep their kids (so long as those kids aren't abused), regardless of the circumstances of their birth... and the parents can live with the consequences.
To prevent bastard children, I would make females property - first of their fathers, and then of their husbands.
You do not have to officially force adoption. But do not give them any welfare if they choose not to send their children for adoption and to keep them.
If there is no prison or death penalty or fine then you are effectively removing age of consent
If you have age of consent laws you need jails or death penalty
Gov death penalty is bad because they have a history of putting innocent people to death which can not be reversed where as you can release people found innocent from jails.
@shortstories - For clarity, these are not ideas for our current state, country, or govt. All of that is doomed, and in the process of collapsing. There is no fixing all of that.
These are hypothetical ideas for how to run a small community in the aftermath. 🍻
