Rescue of girl from child marriage in Nasr City prior to wedding
Egyptian authorities, represented by the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood, succeeded in preventing an early marriage attempt involving a 17-year-old girl in the Nasr City neighborhood of Cairo. The immediate intervention followed a report received through the Child Helpline (16000) regarding the parents' intention to proceed with the marriage. The family was summoned and questioned before the planned wedding ceremony could take place. Those involved were found inside the wedding hall, and commitments were made not to proceed with the marriage until the girl reached the legal age, with an emphasis on protecting children's rights against early marriage, which conflicts with national laws and threatens the child's future.
