 This Act shall come into force from the day following the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette onwards

The provisions of section 1436 and section 1437 of the Civil and Commercial Code shall be repealed and replaced by the following provisions:

“A minor may enter into an engagement only upon the consent of the following persons:

the father and mother, in the event that both the father and mother exist;

the father or mother, in the event that the mother or father has died, or has been deprived of the parental power, or is not in a state or condition which allows him or her to give consent, or the circumstances prevent the minor from requesting his or her consent;

the adopter, in the event that the minor is an adopted child;

the guardian, in the event that there is no person to give consent according to (1), (2), or (3), or the said person has been deprived of the parental power.

An engagement entered into by a minor without the said consent is void.

An engagement shall be valid when the property which constitutes the engagement gift has been delivered or transferred on the part of the man to the woman as evidence that he will marry her.
