Aracely ten\u00eda 11 a\u00f1os cuando se cas\u00f3 con su marido, de 34, en Guatemala. Ahora, con 15, cr\u00eda sola a su hijo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

En votaci\u00f3n expedita, Guatemala aument\u00f3<\/a> La edad m\u00ednima legal para contraer matrimonio se ha elevado la semana pasada a 18 a\u00f1os tanto para ni\u00f1as como para ni\u00f1os, informa el socio de MenCare. ECPAT Guatemala<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Antes de que el Congreso del pa\u00eds aprobara esta medida para evitar el matrimonio infantil, la edad legal para contraer matrimonio era de 14 a\u00f1os para las ni\u00f1as y 16 para los ni\u00f1os. Aunque la nueva ley permite ciertas excepciones, supone una notable mejora respecto de la legislaci\u00f3n anterior.<\/p>\n

La presi\u00f3n para elevar la edad legal para contraer matrimonio aument\u00f3 recientemente con la creciente atenci\u00f3n nacional e internacional a las altas tasas de matrimonio infantil y embarazo adolescente en Guatemala.<\/p>\n

Solo este a\u00f1o, M\u00e1s de 550.000<\/a> Las ni\u00f1as guatemaltecas se casar\u00e1n antes de los 18 a\u00f1os, seg\u00fan estimaciones del UNFPA. En otras palabras, 1.500 ni\u00f1as se casan cada d\u00eda en el pa\u00eds. El a\u00f1o pasado, Guatemala atribuy\u00f3 74.000 nacimientos<\/a> a ni\u00f1as de 15 a 19 a\u00f1os y 5.119 nacimientos a ni\u00f1as de 14 a\u00f1os o menos.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s de las leyes que previenen el matrimonio infantil, para garantizar que esta pr\u00e1ctica termine, es importante involucrar a los padres y a las familias en Guatemala \u2013y en todo el mundo\u2013 en el desaf\u00edo de los valores culturales y las normas de g\u00e9nero que apoyan el matrimonio infantil, perpet\u00faan la devaluaci\u00f3n de las ni\u00f1as y sirven como obst\u00e1culos a la participaci\u00f3n de los hombres como padres involucrados.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
