Child Marriage Persists in Yavniel, Fueled by Religious Beliefs and Enforcement Gaps

Child Marriage Persists in Yavniel, Fueled by Religious Beliefs and Enforcement Gaps

An inter-ministerial committee report revealed that child marriage and underage births are prevalent in Yavniel, particularly among the Breslov Hasidic community, driven by religious beliefs and weak law enforcement. Between 2000 and 2025, 95 live births to minors were recorded, with a recent increase noted. The report highlights difficulties in data collection and enforcement, with many cases closed due to lack of evidence. Recommendations include enhanced government coordination, dedicated enforcement units, and improved support services for at-risk youth.
