Girl aged 16 saved from early marriage in Assiut
The National Council for Childhood and Motherhood in Assiut successfully prevented an attempted marriage of a 16-year-old girl, which was scheduled to take place on August 25 through a consensual marriage contract between the girl and a 26-year-old young man without her consent. After receiving a report from Child Helpline, the unit took legal action and investigated the case. It was found that the mother intended to complete the marriage, but the prosecution intervened and initiated an investigation. The mother promised not to proceed with the marriage until the girl reaches the legal age. Authorities emphasize that child marriage exposes minors to risks and is a legal violation. They continue to monitor the situation to ensure the child's rights are protected, highlighting the importance of reporting any violations against children.
