伊朗总统:芳龄二八宜结婚

2010-11-24来源:和谐英语

  Following a rise in the legal minimum age for girls to marry in Iran from nine to 15 in 2004, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggested the best age is between 16 and 18 to improve his popularity。

  "The best age for marriage is between 16 to 18 for girls and 19 to 21 for boys,” Ahmadinejad said. Analysts saw the move as a deliberate ploy to attract support from young people, many of whom are concerned about being made to marry at an early age。

  "We have a parliamentary election in 2012 and hardliners want to win young people's votes in order to win the assembly vote," said an Iranian political analyst who asked not to be named。

  The authorities have been encouraging marriage as a way to fight what they call the "spread of immorality among youth"。

  英国《每日邮报》22日报道称,继2004年伊朗将女子最低法定婚龄从9岁上升至15岁后,伊朗总统艾哈迈迪-内贾德为提升人气再次提出口号,称女子最佳结婚年龄应该在16岁到18岁之间。

  “女孩子结婚的最佳年龄应该是16岁到18岁,男孩子则是19岁到21岁,”内贾德说道。分析人士称此乃吸引年轻人支持率的策略之举,因为许多伊朗年轻人担心自己小小年纪便被迫结婚。

  “我们在2012年将举行国会选举,强硬派想通过赢得年轻人的选票来提升自己的支持率,”一位不想透露姓名的伊朗政治分析人士说道。

  此前,官方鼓励婚姻,借此遏制“不道德行为在年轻人中间蔓延”。
