Court rules in favor of unregistered underage brides
The article discusses a final judicial ruling that affirms the legitimacy of child marriages and their documentation through a "Tawtheeq" record, an important document used to certify customary marriages and convert them into official ones. The report states that the court overturned a previous decision that refused to recognize the marriage of a girl born in 2006, confirming the validity of her marriage to the appellant with documentary evidence proving the marriage took place. This is in the context of a broader issue related to child marriage and the documentation of informal marriages in rural areas and Upper Egypt. The article also highlights the significant importance given to the Tawtheeq record, which serves as legal proof of an informal marriage, despite ongoing controversy over its use. It emphasizes that this form of documentation accounts for approximately 17–20% of marriage contracts and that debates continue regarding its legality and the possibility of abolishing it.
