Formerly, Article 47 of the Law 27 of 2001 relating to the Rights and Protection of the Child against Violence defined ‘forced marriage’ as any marriage of a boy or girl of less than 21 years of age, and without his or her consent while ‘child marriage’ is ‘any conjugal living-together of a boy and a girl where one of the two or both of them are below the age provided for [in the Code Civil].’ Articles 48 and 49 of the law of 2001 relating to the rights and protection of the child were repealed by the law N° 54/2011 of 14/12/2011 on the Rights and Protection ofthe Child, which is in force today. Unfortunately, the new law does not define ‘forced marriage.’
