How old is the father?

Is he your husband?

What are the local laws around age gaps in sex and marriage?

What are the local cultural norms around the same?

Have either of those things made your relationship difficult?

Yes. 16 is the age of consent (recently got raised for 15), and there’s a max 5 year exception between 14 & 16. Age gaps are way more accepted here than from what I see on the US based websites for example. 4 years is really not seen as a big deal. Have they? Doesn’t feel like it.
