SOBRE LA LEY Y CUALQUIER EXCEPCIÓN
Marriage is permitted below 18 years with a waiver from the provincial governor. Marriage below the age of 21 requires parental consent. In 2016, the Government of Burundi passed a new law on gender-based violence. It defines forced and early marriage as forms of gender-based violence, but the legal ages of marriage were not updated in line with this new law.
¿PUEDEN IR LAS CHICAS CASADAS O EMBARAZADAS ? ¿ESCUELA?
The 2016 law to prevent and punish gender-based violence explicitly states that schools must uphold the right to education for single mothers, and take appropriate measures to protect them from stigmatisation and social exclusion. However, it is unclear if this clause also protects pregnant girls or girls who are mothers if they are victims of child marriage and remain with their husband.
