The National Council for Childhood and Motherhood intervened to prevent an underage marriage between a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy in Kafr El Sheikh after videos of the teenagers’ engagement party went viral on social media, according to Ahram Online. Following the council’s intervention, the children’s parents said they would wait until they both reach the legal marrying age, which was set at 18 in 2008.
