Unlawful carnal knowledge has been most exactly

16 are often given in marriage by parents in China, and it appears only right that this section should not be too widely contemplated with.

Section 15, clauses in it are from the Hong Kong Ordinance
Sub-clause iii is taken from Section 1 (i) of the
Straits Ordinance, and considered one of the most valuable provisions in the Ordinance. By the majority of girls

and
can contract
a valid marriage, or, as is added
in the draft, is adopted, whichever first happens. If married or adopted precautions will of course be taken by the Registrar General's Department that the girl is being married or adopted with a respectable family.
