On Wednesday August 16th 2017, Lebanon voted on the “repeal” of Article 522 which exempted the offender of the crimes established under Articles 503 to 521 related to sexual assaults, from punishment if a marriage contract is concluded with the victim. Last February, the Administration and Justice Commission at the Parliament concluded that this Article shall be abolished while maintaining the effects thereof in Article 505 on sexual intercourse with minors, and Article 518 on “taking away a woman’s virginity by promising her marriage”, be she an adult or a minor.

The Administration and Justice Commission finished examining a proposal to cancel Article 522, which exempts the offender of the crimes established under Articles 503 to 521 from punishment if a marriage contract is concluded with the victim.
