There is not official statistics on early marriages, therefore it is difficult to get a complete picture. At the same time , many parents marry underage girls. The participants also condemned the law enforcement agencies that ignore these facts.
If the legislation does not toughen penalties for early marriage, then it will be difficult to talk about positive changes.

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
