Law No. 32/2016 (amended 2024)
SOBRE A LEI E QUAISQUER EXCEÇÕES
In 2016 the Persons and Family Law made 21 the legal age of marriage with no exceptions; in 2024 the law was amended to allow men and women aged 18 to marry with the dispensation of the civil registrar. However, the law also explicitly permits the optional payment of a dowry.
Rwanda also has strong laws regarding child sexual abuse, with all acts with a child below the age of 18 punished with hefty custodial sentences. It also explicitly criminalises the act of child marriage if conducted as a result of rape of a child.
