What's in it
The indicator assesses whether the law establishes the following: (1) the legal age of marriage is 18 or higher for boys and girls; (2) the law is free of parental consent exceptions to the legal age of marriage; (3) marriage under the legal age is void or voidable; (4) penalties for adults who authorize, celebrate, register, or enter into child marriage. Each component is individually assessed. Score = 1 if all four conditions are met; otherwise, score = 0.
