Pakistani legislation ends child marriage, legal age of marriage raised to 18 yrs old,opposition voiced according to Islamic law

On Monday (April 29) local time, the Pakistani Senate passed a Child Marriage Restriction Act that determined the legal age of marriage for women to be 18 years old.
The bill was proposed by Sherry Rehman, a Senate of the People’s Party of Pakistan, who set the minimum age for marriage to the election and the minimum age for obtaining an identity card to be 18 years old.
She said: "We are not promoting Western values, but trying to save innocent lives, because every 20 minutes, a Pakistani woman dies because of early marriage."
A recent survey conducted by the Punjab Commission on the Status of Women in Pakistan showed that early marriage deprived girls of the opportunity to receive education, making it easier for them to give birth to adolescents and encounter domestic violence.
According to the report, nearly 24% of women in the 20-24 age group who were physically and sexually abused were married before the age of 18, and 8% of women were married before the age of 15.
The survey shows that early childbearing brought about by child marriage will result in more children per child and increase infant and mother mortality.
The survey also noted that as more and more women are married in their early 20s, the country’s age of marriage has steadily increased.
In Pakistan, 21% of marriages occur in adolescents under the age of 18. Compared with other Muslim countries, Algeria has a marriage age of 19 years. Bangladesh, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Oman, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are all 18 years old.
However, some lawmakers objected that this restriction runs counter to Islamic law - that is, women can get married when they enter adolescence. The bill may be submitted to the Islamic Ideology Committee (IIC) for further discussion.
Raza Rabbani, the former chairman of the Pakistani Senate and Senator Raza Rabbani, supported the bill and told the House that the bill was submitted to the IIC earlier.
National Mutual Affairs Minister Ali Mohamed Khan said that although the intention of the bill is sublime, there are some issues that should be discussed because the country was established in the name of Islam.

Nasreen was only 12 when she married a man 16 years older than her. Shortly after her marriage, she began to suffer from domestic violence and divorced her husband when she was third pregnant at the age of 18, and then began to receive help from a non-governmental human rights organization.
Child marriage is one of the main problems that Pakistan cannot solve all the year round. A large number of women have similar experiences with Nasreen. According to UNICEF, 21% of Pakistani women get married before the age of 18, 3% get married less than 15 years old, and the overall child marriage rate ranks sixth in the world.
On April 29, the Pakistani Senate passed the Child Marriage Restriction Act (Amendment), raising the minimum legal age of marriage to 18 years.
The new bill is based on an amendment to the 1929 Child Marriage Restriction Act, proposed by Senator Sherry Rehman. According to the amendment, marrying a woman under the age of 18 may result in a fine of Rs. 200,000 for the client and assist the conspirators to be sentenced to three years in prison.
The amendment was proposed once in 2017 but was rejected by the Senate Standing Committee because it “is contrary to the religious ban”.
The legal age of marriage for women in the old bill is 16 years old, but even so, it is rarely strictly enforced because in Sharia, any woman who enters adolescence can marry. Although some provincial governments have legislated on this issue, trying to set a higher minimum age for marriage, or to impose harsher penalties on those who commit child marriage, Pakistani courts still prefer Shari'a.
Child marriages often occur in the most marginalized areas of Pakistan, and these women are more likely to drop out of school than their peers and face health risks associated with pregnancy. Women who are married are more vulnerable to domestic violence and bring a range of poverty problems.
The bill was passed in the Senate’s secret ballot, but sparked a heated debate on the issue. The bill may then be sent to the Islamic Ideology Committee (CII) for further discussion - CII is a constitutional body that provides Islamic legal advice to the Pakistani government.
Federal Minister of Religious Affairs Noorul Haq Qadri stated that “the marriage in Islam has no age limit” and reminded the House of Representatives that a similar bill was once considered by the CII to be “against Islamic law”.
Senator Rehman pointed out that because the voting age and national identity card (NIC) qualification is 18 years old, the age of puberty should also be determined accordingly. “Muslim countries that have declared adolescence at the age of 18 include Bangladesh, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and even Saudi Arabia.”
“We are not promoting Western values, but we are trying to save innocent lives,” she added. “Every 20 minutes, a Pakistani woman dies due to early pregnancy.”

巴基斯坦参议院通过限制童婚法案，反方议员引用伊斯兰教法抗议

当地时间周一（4月29日），巴基斯坦参议院通过一项童婚限制法案，将女性法定结婚年龄确定为18岁。
该法案由巴基斯坦人民党参议员谢莉·拉赫曼（Sherry Rehman）所提出，要求将最低婚龄与参加选举投票、获得身份证的最低年龄均设定为18岁。
她表示：“我们不是在宣扬西方价值观，而是在努力挽救无辜的生命，因为每20分钟就有一名巴基斯坦妇女因为早婚而死亡。”
巴基斯坦旁遮普省妇女地位委员会最近进行的一项调查显示，早婚剥夺了女孩接受教育的机会，使得她们更容易在青少年生育并遭遇家庭暴力。
报告指出，在20-24岁年龄组遭受身体虐待和性虐待的女性中，近24%在18岁之前结婚，还有8%女性在15岁之前结婚。
调查表明，童婚带来的早育将导致每名女性生育更多的孩子，也会增加婴儿和母亲的死亡率。
调查还注意到，随着越来越多的妇女在20岁出头结婚，该国的结婚年龄已经在稳步提高。
在巴基斯坦，21%的婚姻发生在18岁以下的青少年身上。与其他穆斯林国家相比，阿尔及利亚设定的婚龄为19岁，孟加拉国、埃及、土耳其、摩洛哥、阿曼、阿联酋，沙特阿拉伯等均为18岁。
但一些议员提出反对意见说，这一限制与伊斯兰教法背道而驰——即女性进入青春期即可结婚。该法案可能会提交伊斯兰意识形态委员会（IIC）进行进一步讨论。
巴基斯坦前参议院主席、参议员拉巴尼（Raza Rabbani）支持这项法案，并告知众议院说，该法案早些时候已提交给IIC。
国家议会事务部长阿里·穆罕默德·汗说，虽然该法案的意图是崇高的，但也有一些问题应该讨论，因为这个国家是以伊斯兰的名义建立的。

巴基斯坦立法结束童婚，法定婚龄提至 18 岁
好奇心日报 2019-04-30 15:28:27
Nasreen与比她大 16 岁的男子结婚时才 12 岁。婚后不久她就开始遭受家庭暴力，并在 18 岁第三次怀孕时因丈夫出轨而离婚，继而开始接受一个非政府人权组织的帮助。
童婚是巴基斯坦常年无法解决的主要问题之一，大量女性拥有和 Nasreen 相似的经历。据联合国儿童基金会的数据， 21 %的巴基斯坦女性在 18 岁前结婚，3 % 结婚时还不到 15 岁，整体童婚率在世界上排名第六。
4 月 29 日，巴基斯坦参议院通过童婚限制法（修正）案，将最低法定婚龄提至 18 岁。
新法案是基于 1929 年童婚限制法的修正，由参议员 Sherry Rehman 提出。根据修正案，与未满 18 岁的女性结婚可能为当事人带来 20 万卢比的罚款，协助同谋者可能被判处三年监禁。
修正案曾在 2017 年就被提出过一次，但遭到参议员常务委员会的驳回，原因是它“与宗教禁令相悖”。
旧法案中女性的法定婚龄定为 16 岁，但即便如此，其实也很少得到严格执行，因为在伊斯兰教法中，任何进入青春期的女性都是可以结婚的。虽然一些省级政府已就此问题立法，试图设定更高的最低婚姻年龄，或对进行童婚的人进行更严厉的惩罚，但巴基斯坦法院判决时仍然倾向于伊斯兰教法。
童婚往往发生在巴基斯坦最边缘化的地区，这些女性比同龄人更可能辍学，并面临与怀孕相关的健康风险。童婚的女性更容易遭受家庭暴力，并带来了一系列的贫困问题。
此次议案在参议院的不记名投票中获得通过，但引发了对于此问题的激烈辩论。该法案接下来可能会被送交伊斯兰意识形态委员会（ CII ）进一步讨论—— CII 是一个宪法机构，向巴基斯坦政府提供伊斯兰法律咨询。
联邦宗教事务部长 Noorul Haq Qadri 就表示，“伊斯兰教中的婚姻没有年龄限制”，并提醒众议院，类似的法案曾经被 CII 视为“反对伊斯兰教法”。
而参议员 Rehman 则指出，由于投票年龄和国民身份证（ NIC ）的资格为 18 岁，青春期的年龄也应相应确定。“已宣布 18 岁为青春期的穆斯林国家包括孟加拉国、埃及、土耳其、摩洛哥、阿曼、阿拉伯联合酋长国，甚至沙特阿拉伯。”
“我们不是在宣传西方价值观，而是在努力挽救无辜的生命。”她补充道，“每 20 分钟就有一名巴基斯坦妇女因早孕分娩而死亡。”
