Deputy Minister urges law to ban child marriage
The article addressed statements made by the Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Abla Al-Alfi, regarding the necessity of enacting legislation to halt and criminalize child marriage. Statistics show that between 10% and 15% of newborn mothers are still in childhood. She emphasized that current efforts focus on raising awareness and changing societal beliefs, but the necessary legislation has not established clear penalties for those who marry a child or those who know about such marriages without reporting them to authorities. Although the Child Law criminalizes early marriage, it lacks specific penalties. She pointed out that healthcare centers are making efforts to raise awareness and provide guidance, and that campaigns have contributed to reducing cases in some provinces. However, she stressed the importance of legal intervention when officials become aware of child marriage incidents.
