German authorities are debating the contours of a new law that would crack
down on child marriages after it emerged that *some 1,500 underage brides
are now living in the country.*

*The married minors are among the more than one million migrants from
Africa, Asia and the Middle East who entered Germany in 2015.*

The German Interior Ministry, responding to a Freedom of Information Act
request, recently revealed that 1,475 married children are known to be
living in Germany as of July 31, 2016 — including *361 children who are
under the age of 14.*

Most of the married children are from Syria (664), Afghanistan (157) and
Iraq (100). Nearly 80% (1,152) are girls. *The true number of child
marriages in Germany is believed to be much than the official statistics
suggest because many are being concealed.*
