PAGE 12, WEDNESDAY, N GVEMBER 13, 1974, WHITBY F REE PRESS, The Law a-nd You Q. I think my boyfricnd has givcn me sorne sort of venereal disease. 1 want hlmn to conie ln for treat- ment too, but he refuses. I love him too much to want him to have this disease. What. if anything, eau 1 do? A. 1 hope that you don't hiave to be told that the disease requires immediate treatrnent. Your boy- friend should be told that it is a crirninal offense knowingly to give someone VD, or to fail to seek treatment once lie knows or suspects that hie has VD. If he refuses, hie can be reported to a I-ealth Offlicer under Ontario'ý Vcnereal Diseases Prevention Act. The officer can' mquire him to coeienlu or treatment. and if lie stili refuses, hie can be locked up for a minimum of seven days. Once hie is locked up, lie will be treated anyway. - You should probably tell him ail this and hope that it will persuade hlm to go voluntarily for treat- ment. If not, get lu touch with your local health department. Q. Is there such a thing as statutory rape in Canada? A. Yes. Rape is sexual intercourse where thc female doesi't consent, or where the consent is procurred by force or fraud. A statutory rape is cornmitted lu cases where the law considcrs thc female too young to consent to sexual intercourse. Where the consent is lacking, sexual intercourse becomnes rape. lu Canada, everyone who has interçourse with a girl under the age of 14 (who is flot his wife) is guilty of "statutory rape" wliether or not lie believes she 15 14 or older. Q. 1 felI behind lu my refit. I tried to make a deal with the landlord su we could stay lu the place we have now. He said 'no dice', and lie turned off the water and gais, "To remind me", he said. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I got home last niglit, he had chianged the locks. A. Your landiord could be lu big trouble. Under Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Act it is a crimninal offense for the landlord to change the locks or withhold vital services without an eviction order Envunronmient Onltario goes 1lol. 6 new re jnal offices to serve indivi*dual Communities befter., In a province the size cf ours, if Met ropolitan Tarante, the Regional can take twa days jusfte drive from Municipalities cf Halton.

She didn't tell me about this before we married - in fact 1 only found out by accident. I was so mad that 1 rnoved out. Can 1 divorce her or get an anul- Iment? A. You have no grounds for divorce. Your wife is not guilty of adultery because this ail happened before you marnied. The fact that you were mistaken about your fiancees' character does not affect the validity of the marriage.
