Abstract

Marriage in all modern societies, and especially in traditional societies, is the starting point of marriage and family with the birth of a child. This right is mentioned in the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This itself indicates examples of human rights. Child marriage is one of the concerns of the international community due to its prevalence and the irreparable effects on their status, especially on girl children, which is addressed in international human rights documents by emphasizing the determining importance of the age of marriage and its relationship with consent to marriage. It has been addressed. Considering the certainty of the bill from the harm to women and the promotion of security against abuse, in this study, an attempt was made to critically and fairly look at the legal support of this bill for children in the face of early marriages. The results of this study show that the Winter Bill has the nature and claim of protecting affected women and girls, but it has many legal loopholes for the harm of women, including child marriage and early marriage. Therefore, it is necessary to review and examine this bill further, considering the customs of the society and the conditions of the age of puberty of children, as well as international legal documents, in order to provide a human support for the future girls and mothers of our beloved country.
