حول القانون وأي استثناءات

In 2022, the Children's Code Act No. 12 was passed and this prohibits marriage for anyone aged below 18, in line with the Constitutional definition of a child. In 2023, the Marriage Act was updated to reflect this.

The Education Act 2011 has the right of re-entry to education for girls who are mothers, but no specific provisions are made for girls who are pregnant. The Children's Code Act 2022 makes provision for a child who is married and brought before the court to have their marriage nullified, and to be ordered to return to education.
