How would each Great Kingdom sentence someone for the crime of child exploitation (Yes, THAT kind) and abuse? Given that most of these punishments are likely execution, what form of execution? I’m guessing Lamai would feed these folk to dragons for being utter bastard, and Etios would do the good ‘ol, tried and true stoning.
Some kingdoms (Like Evangeline and Damijana) have the same laws across all their territories. Others have different laws depending on what territory you're in. For example, slavery is legal in the Morite territory of Barha, but not in the Morite capital city. So, the answer to this can get rather complicated.
Child abuse is illegal in all Great Kingdoms. However, what constitutes as "abuse" can differ depending on where you are. Sexual abuse is pretty straightforward; adults cannot legally have sexual contact with children in any Great Kingdom territory. Even in some Morite regions where child/adult marriage is legal, sexual contact is still not permitted between the child bride/groom and their adult spouse until they are of legal age.
Obviously this law is not enforced very well and it still happens globally (Moswen is an example. She was forced to marry Ekwame as a teenager and had children by him when she was 17, meaning she likely became pregnant at 16). Nobles/wealthy people get away with these crimes more easily, for the same reasons they do in the real world. But I think in some areas the problem is rampant with poor and middle classes as well.
Among the general public, sexual abuse against children is taken very seriously. Pedophiles are considered repulsive globally, and their crimes are not something that occurs openly in any mainstream culture. In all Great Kingdoms, they are pushed away into dark corners of society where they abuse their victims in secrecy.
When they are caught, the punishments are quite severe. In Evangeline Kingdom, Folkvar Kingdom, and Etios Nation, anyone who is found guilty of sexually abusing children is usually executed.
In Matuzu Kingdom, Aquarian Alliance, Zareen Empire, Seelie Court, and Mogdir Kingdom, they may be chemically sterilized, imprisoned for a number of years, and then forced to register as a sex offender upon release, which severely limits where they can live, work, and who they are allowed to interact with.
In Yerim-Mor Kingdom, Unseelie Court, and Lamai Nation, their genitals and/or hands may be surgically removed (I use the term "surgically" loosely. Oftentimes the "surgeon" is just a dude with a machete...), they are scarred or tattoed with some kind of mark that labels them as dangerous to children, and they are banished from the territory. If they live long enough to make it to a new city, their markings usually force them into society's lowest corners.
Like I said at the start, these punishments will vary a bit depending on the territory where the crime occurs. More rural territories are poorly-policed by their kingdoms, so the law is moreso in the hands of the people. Kiddie-touchers fare a lot worse in these areas because angry townsfolk usually get to them before an officer does. These are the areas where you get the most brutal vigilante justice cases such as stonings, sacrificial killings, open torture, etc.
