judicial supervision of early marriage appraisal of the approach of Iranian and Algerian law in the light of precedent and Islamic jurisprudence

According to the legal system of Iran and Algeria, any marriage before the Marriageable age is subject to the permission of the parents of the child in compliance with the expediency of the child by the court. In Algerian law, such a marriage is possible subject to the child’s status of necessity. In Islamic jurisprudence, the eligibility for marriage is subject to the maturity age of the child (Marriageability age), and Marriage before this age for a child on behalf of the parents, executor, and the judge in the child's interest is allowed. such a marriage is subject only to the parent’s permission. The best interest of the child is a relative concept and must be evaluated according to the child’s gender, age, and mental and physical condition. We have three ways to determine the best interest of a child in such a marriage: consultation with parents, experts, and social research. According to the Algerian family law, permission to marry without a medical certificate is prohibited, and judges also use the criterion of consulting parents. There is a degree of disagreement in opinions regarding the status of child marriage with the permission of the parents and without determining the best interests of the child by the court, and its revocability in Iranian law and validity in Algerian law is preferred.
