Recommendation
A comprehensive dialogue on cultural considerations regarding the need to raise the
legal age for marriage had been initiated under the auspices of the National Committee for
Families and Children. However, given that Belize also experienced the practice of early
informal unions, there was a need for further dialogue to comprehensively address the
phenomenon. [Para 75]
