RUSSIANS CAN MARRY EARLY

Russians can marry at 14

Moscow, October 23
Russian deputies today set the minimal marriage age at 14 for all Russians, male and female, a first in a country where such a matter was previously decided by each region at the local level.

Three hundred and eighty deputies in the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, voted through the second reading of the law modifying the family codex and setting a nation-wide legal marriage age. AFP
