Recommendation
The United Nations subregional team recommended that Saint Kitts and Nevis address the legislative dissonance between the age of majority and the age of sexual consent, with a view to facilitating access to reproductive health services and information for sexually active adolescents in the light of the high adolescent fertility rate. The United Nations subregional team also recommended that Saint Kitts and Nevis set the minimum age of consent for marriage at 18 years, without exception. [Para 13]
