Ending child marriage in Yemen
In Yemen, which has no legal minimum age of marriage, two-thirds of marriages involve underage brides, 44 percent of them under 15. Before the war, the child marriage rate in Yemen stood at 32 percent.
Act now
Yemeni officials should seize this opportunity to end child marriage. They should pass a law that makes it illegal for anyone to force a girl into marriage.
The clock is ticking. End child marriage now!
