Is the legal age for marriage in Iran nine years old?

The legal age for marriage in Iran is not 9 years old.

Iran has promulgated a law to revise the minimum age of marriage for men and women, and the minimum age of marriage for men has been raised from 14 to 15, and for women from 9 to 13.

At the same time, the law stipulates that if men are under 15 years old and women are under 13 years old, they must get the approval of the court if they want to get married. Iran's Constitutional Guardian Council initially rejected the bill on the grounds of violating Islamic law, but after mediation, the bill was finally passed. Members of the Iranian parliament said that this is a victory for Iranian reformists and is of great significance to safeguarding women's rights and interests.
