Child Marriage Act 2020
-
Well thank you for the clarification Mr. Firoux, well that means this act will have no sense at all logically. Is there a member-state that even allows marriage of minors? That would be a very crazy idea unless there's an anarchic member-state here. So I'd like to withdraw my amendment instead and oppose this act. However, I do support the idea but this act has no use for now.
Friedrich van Allen
Councilor, Kingdom of Reitzmag -
This version of the act is far more acceptable to me, and I will gladly support it.
I stand against the proposed amendment from Cllr. Van Allen.
Carita Falk
Archrepublic of Vayinaod -
The last proposed act was messy in my opinion, and had many work to do before being seen as an affordable bill for the European Union. Spain doesn't allow anyone to marry until they turn 18, but we are conscious of many ethnic groups, especially gypsys, which are breaking the law. The Government is unable to do something, because there's no consistant evidence, like photos or videos published on Social Media which could be used as evidences to punish the parents of that children forced to marry.
Councillor van Allen, I'm sorry but I'm once again against your withdrawn amendment. This act won't be useless, as sometimes it's better to have laws written instead of waiting for some insane nation to allow child marriage.
