Answer

What did the 2022 reform change about consent and cases of intoxication in Mallorca?

Spain's 2022 reform established that only clear consent permits intimate acts. If someone is asleep, unconscious, or not able to make decisions, that can constitute a lack of consent. Courts must carefully determine whether consent was present in each case, changing how such incidents are evaluated on Mallorca.
