The recent passing of the constitutional amendment bill that allows
Malawian girls to be married at the age of 16 has attracted much
criticism from rights campaigners. This law allows children under the
age of 18 who cannot even obtain a driving license to legally marry.
Of those opposing the bill are the Minister of Health, Professor Moses
Chirambo and his deputy Theresa Mwale, who are both MPs and who were
present in the National Assembly when the bill was passed. They said
they did not agree that the marriage age should be 16.
