Child Law under review after 12 years
A comprehensive update to the Child Law is currently underway in the Sultanate of Oman, more than a decade after its issuance in 2014, to align it with recent social and legislative changes. The update aims to strengthen the protection of children in the digital environment, where more than 4,000 cases of abuse have been recorded. It also involves developing laws related to the use of social media and cybercrimes, including penalties of up to 10 years in prison in certain cases. The upcoming amendments will include expanding measures to protect against electronic abuse, regulating the use of technology, and tightening penalties for exploitation and harm against children.
