Na sequência da ratificação da Convenção de Istambul por Portugal e, consequentemente, da sua entrada em vigor na nossa ordem jurídica em 2014, foi necessário proceder-se a alterações legislativas para dar cumprimento às obrigações impostas pela mesma. Assim, a Lei nº83/2015, de 5 de agosto, alterou, nomeadamente, os números 2 dos artigos 163º e 164º do Código Penal, passando a abranger as situações em que o ato sexual não foi consentido ou o foi mediante pressões que não atinjam o patamar referido nos seus números 1. A questão que se coloca é a de saber se nesses casos de consentimento constrangido ou de dissentimento de menores adolescentes se aplica o artigo 172º ou 173º do Código Penal, conforme o caso, ou o número 2 dos artigos 163º ou 164º, agravado em razão da idade (artigo 177º, nº6 do Código Penal).

The question that it is placed, is to know if in that cases of constrict consent or dissent of adolescents it is applied the article 172º or 173º of the Penal Code, according the case, or the number 2 of the articles 163º or 164º, heightened for the age factor (article 177º, nº6 of the Penal Code).
