South Africa is set to raise the legal marriage age to 18 in a move to prevent child marriages and protect children's rights. The new legislation aims to safeguard minors from exploitation and promote gender equality, ensuring that all marriages are consensual and between adults. This step is part of broader efforts to strengthen legal protections for young people in the country.
