Authorities thwarted an attempt to marry off a 14-year-old girl in the Youssef El-Seddik Center in Fayoum Governorate. Her father was planning to unofficially marry her off to an adult man. The relevant authorities promptly took legal action, referred the case to the prosecution for investigation, and had the father of the girl sign a pledge not to proceed with the marriage. The Child Protection Unit is also ongoing in monitoring the girl’s condition to ensure she is not subjected to any pressure or attempts to finalize the marriage, along with providing family awareness to protect her and preserve her rights. This incident exemplifies the efforts of the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood in combating child marriage and enforcing laws that prohibit documenting marriage contracts for individuals under 18.
