Mirziyoyev orders stricter accountability for early marriage



Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has instructed officials to prepare a draft law aimed at strengthening responsibility for early marriage, Murodbek Mahmudov, head of the Prosecutor General's Office, told Uzbekistan 24 TV channel.

According to Mahmudov, the task is also to review liability for the crime of causing minor injuries that cause damage to health.

He noted that in order to dramatically strengthen measures to prevent early marriage and early childbirth, the systems of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of Justice have been integrated. The ability to immediately identify them and determine appropriate measures has been expanded.

Mahmudov also said that a system for registering returnees as they enter the border will be established through information exchange between the Mahalla Association, the Ministries of Internal Affairs, and the Health Ministry.
