Abstract
This document presents the Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registration of marriage, adopted by the United Nations on 9 December 1964. This Convention is aimed at protecting women at marriage and ensuring freedom of Marriage, one of the individual freedoms closely linked to human rights. The agreement also established the conditions for the freedom of marriage, which consisted of the need to express full consent by both spouses on the act of marriage, the need to disclose this approval of both spouses to the authority and the consent of both spouses must be expressed in a personal capacity. The 1962 New York Convention imposed the determination of a minimum age for marriage to ratifying States in order to eliminate the phenomenon of child marriage. The agreement also required registration of marriage contracts to protect women, family and children.
Tunisia has been engaged in this Agreement without precaution by Law No. 41 of 21 November 1967
