Six papers on „The Law of Early Marriage” available in Open Access
German constitutional law, European law, and public international law, all pose requirements for the regulation of early marriage. Members of the Max Planck Institute for Private Law analyze these requirements in six papers, which are now freely available on SSRN. These preprint papers will also appear in a volume on “The Law of Early Marriage” ["Die Frühehe im Recht"] that will be published early next year, under the editorship of Nadjma Yassari and Ralf Michaels, Director at the Institute.
Who enters into early marriages and why? Where early marriage is allowed, what conditions must be met? Will an early marriage which takes place abroad be recognized domestically? What rights and limits are prescribed by constitutional law, European law and international law? An edited volume which is due for publication in Spring 2021, examines these questions across four continents and in doing so facilitates a critical analysis of German law.
Six articles in the edited volume analyze what provisions exist in German constitutional law, European Law, and public international law with respect to early marriage. The articles, as well as the full report, are now available in Open Access on SSRN in the series "Max Planck Private Law Research Paper Series":
