LGBT rights in Bahrain
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people living in Bahrain may face discrimination not faced by non-LGBT persons. The country has legalized homosexuality since 1976. Law enforcement agents and the courts have the authority to issue fines and or jail time for any activities in violation of laws such as under-age same-sex acts, as only adults aged twenty-one and above are legally allowed to engage in homosexuality.
==Penal Code==
A new Penal Code was enacted in March 1976, repealing the Penal Code of the Persian Gulf that was imposed by the United Kingdom.〔 The new code legalized same-sex sodomy, with the minimum age of consent at 21 years.〔
Private, non-commercial and consensual homosexual and heterosexual sexual intercourse with anyone under the age of twenty-one years is essentially deemed to be similar to statutory rape, although the non-consent of the victim is legally presumed if he or she is less than fourteen years. If the victim is at least sixteen years old, then the offender can be sentenced to up to ten years in prison. However, the death penalty is the punishment where the victim is under sixteen years of age (Penal Code. Article 345 ). Likewise, the penal code has stiff penalties for prostitution or using deception or force in a sexual relationship.
