Line 79: === Reproduction === Intimate relations between a man and a woman below the age of 18 are illegal and punishable by execution unless legally married. ~~termination of gestation~~Abortion is not legal except in the case of saving the mother's life, incest (within the degree of first cousins) or defects/abnormalities in the fetus as approved by a doctor. A father or close male relative (as determined by the proximity of blood), or husband makes decisions about termination of gestation however the man may not deny termination of gestation if she elects to save herself in the event that her life is threatened. Illegal termination of gestation and aiding and abetting an illicit termination of gestation is punishable by imprisonment including forced labour. == Law of contract == Line 109: === Sorcery === {{Main\|Sorcery in Paxism}} Sorcery is the crime of performing magic or occult rituals. A person can be criminally liable for performing, conspiring to perform and inducing others to perform or participate in occulting rituals or disseminating propaganda that encourages or extols sorcery. Actions with are criminally punishable as sorcery include divination, the use of voodoo dolls, the proliferation and use of birth signs or star signs, and the use of potions, spells and incantations that can be construed as sorcery. Sorcery is punishable by corporal punishment or imprisonment. Line 164 ⟶ 165: === Criminal Procedure === {{Main\|Law enforcement in Packilvania}} Packilvania uses the inquisitorial system for criminal cases. This means that charges are levied and cases arising therefrom are investigated by the Imperial Procuratorate on behalf of the courts. The Supreme Council of the Imperial Procurator is responsible for overseeing the work of the Imperial Procuratorate. It is also responsible for overseeing the legal profession. The Imperial Procuratorate is based on the Supreme People's Procuratorate of the Packilvanian Communist Party and many procurators who worked for it kept their jobs after the Bedonite dynasty took over the country. The Imperial Procuratorate determines whether are grounds to instigate a criminal prosecution except for violations under the [[Protection of State Secrets Act\|''Protection of State Secrets Act'']] which are prosecuted by the Department of State Security. The Imperial Procurator is required to pursue an investigation if sufficient evidence exists to prosecute the case. The Procurator then determines which court to hold the trial in. Furthermore, it decides which witnesses to bring in and which evidence to admit before the court. It has little discretion to present evidence even if it is arguably prejudicial to the parties. It is possible for a client to hire a private lawyer to intermediate between themselves and the Imperial Procurator as well as to seek out evidence and present it to the Imperial Procurator insofar as it does not overstep the investigation of the procurator. Procurators are appointed by the state but the state must determine whether the procurator has a vested interest or prejudice that might impede his functions in the case. A matter concerning whether the procurator is unfit can be brought by one of the parties before a judge.
