Description
Inducing Intimacy explores the challenging legal and ethical questions surrounding consent when deception plays a role in intimate relationships. Chloë Kennedy examines high-profile cases and legal principles to understand how courts and lawmakers approach situations where one party has been deceived about material facts before consenting to sexual activity.
The book considers various forms of deception—from misrepresentation of identity to concealment of sexually transmitted infections—and analyzes how different legal systems balance individual autonomy with protection from harm. Kennedy critiques existing consent doctrine and proposes new frameworks for understanding the relationship between deception and valid consent.
This work is essential reading for legal scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in how law regulates intimate conduct and protects individual rights.
