In Lebanon, it’s legal to marry a child

A powerful stunt by the NGO KAFA (enough) Violence and Exploitation denounces child marriage in Lebanon. In Lebanon, the law is not the same for everyone. When it comes to marriage, for example, sectarian “Personal Status” laws take over. A Lebanese citizen’s “Personal Status” is linked to his or her religion and sect. And it’s different for each one ( see charts below ). In some cases, it’s legal for a man to marry a little girl as young as 9. الأحوال الشخصية قاصرة مشهد فيلم من بطولة قوانين الأحوال الشخصية#قانون_سنة_جِدّي_ما_في_يكون_جَدّي #كفى Posted by KAFA (enough) Violence & Exploitation on Monday, November 30, 2015
