Marriage ban for under-18-year-olds: protection for young women in focus!
Österreich - Minister of Justice Anna Sporrer (SPÖ) announced an urgent step in the Ö1-century journal: a ban on marriage for people under the age of 18. This decision aims to protect young people, especially women, from too early marriages. Sporrer emphasizes that it is of great importance that young women should concentrate on their personal development, training and employment instead of getting married early. In the past week there were only ten documented marriages under the age of 18 in Austria, but this does not reduce the need for such laws because the ban is supposed to signal a clear social attitude. According to the information from kosmo , a ministerial lecture on the decision is to be submitted in the coming week.
The Minister of Justice points out that the legally planned bans should have universal validity. This perspective is also supported by international guidelines, in particular by the Child Rights Convention, which requires special protection of minors. According to
In the context of this discussion about marriage ban and minors, a current decision by the Federal Constitutional Court illuminates the problem of marriages concluded abroad between minors. This decision, which deals with the question of nullity of such marriages, shows that there must be urgently needed regulations for such marriages to protect the rights of those affected. The court found that the applicable regulations not only inappropriately restricted the freedom of the marriage, but that specific follow -up regulations also lack maintenance claims. The complete notification of the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court can be found on their website: Federal Constitutional Court .
In view of these developments, the upcoming marriage ban for under 18-year-olds is an important step towards legal protection and the protection of young people in Austria. The demand for a legal framework that supports these concerns will mark a first decisive progress in the coming week.| Details | |
