Is it legal for a 17 year old and a 24 year old to be dating?

There is nothing illegal about dating. Having actual sexual intercourse may be illegal in some jurisdictions - depending on the age of consent, which usually seems to be either 16 years (in some jurisdisctions) or 18 years (in others). If you are planning on having sexual intercourse, check the laws for your country or state/province.

Can a eight years old girl take part in intercourse?

Tricky question actually. The short answer? No. The man having intercourse with her would almost certainly go to jail. Even if the girl wanted to do it, it's still illegal. The long answer? It depends on the girl but still no. Some eight year old girls may have grown enough to accomidate a smaller adult male (or young teen male). It might fit.... but it's still illegal so still basically no.


Is it illegal for a nineteen year old male to date a sixteen year old female in Miami?

No, it is not illegal to "date". However, unless the 16 year old female is an emancipated minor, then it is illegal for a 19 year old male to have sexual intercourse with a 16 year old female. and vice-versa. Technically, any 16 year old is not "in the age of majority" (usually 18 years old) and by most state and federal law is not considered capable of making certain decisions (voting, giving consent for sexual intercourse, signing a contract to buy a car or rent an apartment, etc).
