Early Marriage in Germany: Law and Politics of Cultural Demarcation
摘要
This chapter examines the legal framework on early marriage for unaccompanied minor refugees in Germany. The article focuses on a critical analysis of the Federal Law to combat child marriages and its adjustments through the Law for the Protection of Minors in Foreign Marriages effective from 1 July 2024. It is demonstrated that the situation of those in need of protection, particularly the young women concerned and the children born from such marriage, has worsened as a result of the law.
