Zeinab, a married 14-year-old girl refugee from Syria,
lives in a tent-camp in Lebanon. Germany hosts many thousands of migrants and
refugees from Syria, among whom are at least 664 married children. Under
current law, German family courts have discretion to determine the validity
of marriages concluded abroad by minors who are 14 or older. (Image source:

German authorities are debating the contours of a new law that would
crack down on child marriages after it emerged that some 1,500 underage
brides are now living in the country.
The married minors are among the more than one million migrants from
Africa, Asia and the Middle East who entered Germany in 2015.
The German Interior Ministry, responding to a Freedom of Information Act
request, recently revealed that 1,475 married children are known to be living
in Germany as of July 31, 2016 — including 361 children who are under the age
of 14.
Most of the married children are from Syria (664), Afghanistan (157) and
Iraq (100). Nearly 80% (1,152) are girls. The true number of child marriages
in Germany is believed to be much than the official statistics suggest
because many are being concealed.
