A law which would allow men accused of having sex with girls who are under 18 to avoid
punishment if they marry their victims is set to be introduced to parliament in Turkey. The
controversial so-called “marry-your-rapist” bill, which lawmakers are planning to introduce to Turkish parliament at the end of January, has sparked fury among women’s rights campaigners in the country. A similar bill was defeated in Turkey in 2016 after national and global outrage. The legislation would have only pardoned men if they had sex without “force or threat”.
