Child marriage among Muslims in Kerala : ウィキペディア英語版 | Child marriage among Muslims in Kerala
The issue of child marriage among Muslims in Kerala was addressed by a circular issued on 14June 2013 by the social-welfare department of the Indian Union Muslim League (part of Kerala's ruling United Democratic Front (UDF)). The circular instructs marriage registrars to register Muslim marriages even if the parties have not attained the age fixed by the Child Marriage Act. Political parties and Muslim women's organizations have said that this would encourage child marriages. Following an amendment, only underage marriages occurring before 28June 2013 could be registered. Nine prominent Muslim organisations in Kerala took legal action seeking exemption from the community marriage-age restrictions, saying that the minimum marriage age for women (fixed at 18 by the Child Marriage Act) as well as its Supreme Court endorsement infringe on the Muslim law. ==Background== The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) opposes the Child Marriage Act on the grounds that it contravenes the Muslim personal law. According to a survey by the Integrated Child Development Scheme, of the 3,400 girls aged 13 to 18 married in Malappuram, Kerala in 2012, 2,800 were Muslims. In 2008, 4,249 of the 4,955 brides in child marriages were Muslims. Although most Muslim religious organizations and clerics have defended the government circular, Muslim women have opposed it.
