Keywords:
marriage; marriage conditions; persons entering into marriage; marriage age; decrease of the marriage age; “child marriage”Abstract
The article considers the marriage age which is one of the obligatory marriage conditions. Attention is drawn to the fact that the age of marriage, if there are no certain grounds to change it, cannot be under 16, which is confirmed by research data of the World Health Organization and sociological conclusions.
In the national legislation there is a conflict of norms in part 2 of article 18 of the Marriage and Family Code of the Republic of Belarus and article 168 of the Criminal code of the Republic of Belarus. These rules regulate the marriage age and the grounds for criminal prosecution of an adult who has entered into sexual relations with a person under the age of sixteen.
Having analyzed the family and criminal legislation of the Republic of Belarus, the international normative legal acts, statistical data and existing practice, the author concludes that it is necessary to make changes in the age range of the marriage age that is enshrined in the family legislation of the Republic of Belarus.
