Calls Intensify to Abolish Child Marriage Laws in Guyana

Advocates are calling for the complete removal of legal provisions that allow child marriage in Guyana, warning that existing exceptions undermine constitutional protections for children. The Guyana Responsible Parenthood Association highlighted that current laws permit marriages under 18 with parental consent or under specific conditions, raising concerns about public health and child welfare. Stakeholders are planning a national dialogue to address the issue and push for legislative reform.
