From Daily News Egypt:
The Egyptian cabinet approved on Tuesday a draft law prohibiting underage marriage. The draft law aims to criminalise underage marriages due to children’s lack of health and mental ability to bear the consequences of marriage.
The draft law stipulates that a marriage contract for a person who has not reached 18 years old may not be authenticated. A penalty of imprisonment of no less than one year and a fine between EGP 50,000 and EGP 200,000 shall be inflicted on anyone who marries a male or female, neither of whom have reached 18 years of age at the time of marriage.
Parents who participate in marrying their daughter or son who is under 18 years of age would be deprived of the authority of guardianship over the child. Whoever instigates this crime shall be punished with the same penalty. The child shall not be held criminally or civilly liable for this crime.
