NC Childrens Council halts child's marriage in Nasr City
The Egyptian authorities succeeded in thwarting an early marriage attempt of a 17-year-old girl in the Nasr City neighborhood of Cairo, before it was finalized on Wednesday evening, following a report received through the Child Rescue Line. A swift intervention was carried out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and the family and involved individuals were detained, with legal procedures taken to ensure the marriage does not proceed until the girl reaches the legal age. This incident underscores the importance of protecting children's rights against early marriage and reaffirms that national legislation prohibits registering marriage contracts for those under 18. Citizens are also encouraged to report any similar violations to ensure the safety and well-being of children.
