| Summary: | The Compendium of International and
National Legal Framework on Child Marriage (‘the
Compendium’) provides a survey of the key international,
regional and national legal instruments as they relate to
the right to marry with the full and free consent of the
intending spouses and to the obligation for government to
take legislative measures to abolish child marriage. The
Compendium consists of topical chapters with jump links to
source documents, such as United Nations conventions,
regional treaties, national constitutions and legislations. |
