Mukhtar Jumaa: Underage marriage is a crime and against religious morals
Dr. Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa, former Minister of Awqaf, affirmed that the marriage of minors is a crime punishable by law and contradicts the moral objectives of Sharia. This is due to the health, social, and humanitarian damages it causes. He warned against resorting to unofficial contracts to bypass the legal marriage age, as this leads to family disasters such as early divorce and the loss of financial rights for children. He emphasized that strict legislation has been designed based on studies and in coordination with religious institutions and experts to curb this phenomenon. He explained that the law punishes anyone participating as a partner in an illegal marriage contract, whether parents, witnesses, or the marriage official (muezzin). He also stressed that obeying a guardianship does not justify violating laws in order to protect the dignity of the family and the community.
