The Child Protection Unit of the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood in Dakahlia successfully rescued a 15-year-old girl who was on the verge of getting married on her wedding day. This was achieved after receiving an urgent report via the Child Helpline 16000, indicating that her family was preparing to proceed with the marriage, despite a pre-existing customary marriage contract with a young man from the village. Immediate action was taken to investigate and verify the report, resulting in the suspension of the marriage ceremonies. The girl's father signed a declaration affirming that the marriage would not be finalized before she reached the legal age. Additionally, it was recommended to temporarily place her in a social care home to protect her from any further attempts to proceed with the marriage. It is worth noting that the Civil Status Law prohibits the registration of marriage contracts for individuals under 18, and the council emphasizes the importance of prompt reporting to safeguard children's rights.
