Abstract

U Republici Hrvatskoj pravo na sklapanje braka uređeno je Obiteljskim zakonom. Zakonom je jasno određeno da brak mogu sklopiti samo punoljetne osobe, iznimno maloljetnici s navršenih 16 godina mogu stupiti u brak uz odobrenje suda.
Sud takvo odobrenje daje ako utvrdi da je maloljetnik psihički i tjelesno zreo za brak te da je to u njegovu interesu. Kako bi se pokrenuo postupak sklapanja braka maloljetna osoba koja namjerava sklopiti brak dužna je podnijeti prijedlog za dopuštanje sklapanja braka. Cilj ovog ograničenja je zaštita maloljetnih osoba od ranog ulaska u brak te mogućih negativnih posljedica. Osobama mlađima od 16 godina izričito se zabranjuje sklapanje braka. Akti koji su utjecali na razvoj obiteljskog prava u vidu prava djeteta da aktivno sudjeluje u odlukama koje ga se tiču jesu Konvencija Ujedinjenih naroda o pravima djeteta iz 1989.g. te Europska Konvencija o ostvarivanju dječjih prava iz 1996.g.
Konvencija o pravima djeteta postavila je temeljna načela zaštite ali državama ostavlja prostor za vlastite interpretacije i regulative.

Summary of the final thesis on the topic of the right of a minor to marry
In the Republic of Croatia, the right to enter into marriage is regulated by the Family Act. The Act explicitly states that only adults may enter into marriage; however, as an exception, minors who have reached the age of 16 may marry with court approval.
The court grants such approval if it determines that the minor is psychologically and physically mature for marriage and that entering into marriage is in their best interest. To initiate the procedure, the minor intending to marry is required to submit a request for permission to enter into marriage. The purpose of this restriction is to protect minors from entering into marriage at an early age and to prevent potential negative consequences. Marriage is explicitly prohibited for individuals under the age of 16. Key legal instruments that have influenced the development of family law, particularly regarding a child's right to actively participate in decisions affecting them, include the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989. and the European Convention on the Exercise of Children's Rights 1996.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child established fundamental principles of child protection while allowing states the flexibility to interpret and regulate these principles within their national legal frameworks.
