I think this is good, and would actually give girls more confidence, knowing it's lawfully wrong for such behaviour form their parents and could challenge their parents over it/make their parents more fearful of trying to do such a thing....Once there are are one or two examples of the law coming into action, that way they really know what such a law entails.
I can see why it can cause a backfire, when girls don't want their parents to go to jail over it...
