verbal consent
Said yes aloud
Verbal consent is permission given through spoken words rather than written agreement or physical action.
The term appears frequently in legal and sexual contexts, where it emphasizes explicit communication: The policy requires verbal consent before any intimate contact.
Verbal consent may be harder to prove than written consent but signals clearer agreement than silence or ambiguity.
