Kaslik (Agenzia Fides) – The different religious communities are called to examine themselves and to promote a reflection and review of their own customs and community rules if they want to concretely contribute to overcoming the social practice of “early marriages”.
This is the perspective that emerged in the conference promoted Wednesday, February 13 at the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK), entitled “Protecting children from early marriages”. The debate took its cue from the bill for the “protection of children from early marriage”, presented to Parliament in March 2017 by MP Élie Keyrouz, that aims to establish the minimum age of marriage at 18.
