Saudi Arabia bans under 18 marriage December 24, 2019Jayne Augoye Related News A Word For Yerima And The Pedophiles In Power, Femi Fani-Kayode Khashoggi: Turkey, Saudi Arabia disagree on extradition of suspects Saudi Arabia delays execution of seven men, family, friends say UN rights panel wants Saudi Arabia to end discrimination against women Saudi king meets Khashoggi’s family The Saudi Ministry of Justice on Tuesday announced the prohibition of the marriage of persons under 18 years. It has also set 18 years as the minimum age for marriage, the Saudi Gazette is reporting. The Minister of Justice and Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Sheikh Walid Al-Samaani, issued the new directive in a circular sent to all the courts in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Before now, child marriages are commonplace in Saudi Arabia with one in seven girls marrying before the age of 18. But, Saudi Arabia’s justice minister is changing things up. In the circular released on Tuesday, the minister directed that marriage requests are to be referred to the specialised court to complete the formalities in line with the Child Protection Law and while implementing the established regulations. Mr Al-Samaani’s directives are based on paragraph (16/3) of the executive regulations of the Child Protection Law, which says “before conducting marriage contracts one has to make sure that marrying a person under the age of 18 will not harm him or her and achieve their best interests, male or female.” This is not the first time the Saudi authorities would move to curtail and regulate underage marriages in the country. In January, the country approved regulations that prohibit marriage for children under 15 years of age. The ban followed a ruling by the kingdom’s Shura Council, which saw two-thirds of the advisory body vote in favour, according to Arab News. But the new regulations had a few loopholes. It allowed for teens under the age of 18 to tie the knot, if granted approval from a specialised court. Tuesday’s ruling has, however, put a full stop to the marriage of persons under 18 years with clear cut penalties for defaulters. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/naija-fashion/369729-saudi-arabia-bans-under-18-marriage.html |

The most effective instrument of slavery used in the Northern Nigeria is illiteracy. That's why the Amajiri school initiated by Gej was frustrated by the present administration. |
