"The incident occurred on the night of Sunday, May 29 to Monday, May 30, 2022. A girl of about 14 years old took her own life by suicide to oppose a forced marriage.

For the timeframe 2020 to present, there appears to be little to no published information on military-specific practices that encourage or discourage Chadian service members from reporting intra-military rape or sexual assault. Although Chad has broader national programs addressing gender-based violence and has adopted a Women, Peace and Security National Action Plan for 2023–2027, these programs do not appear to be specifically designed for military personnel reporting sexual assault by fellow service members. No military-specific confidential reporting mechanism, victim support system, or documented practice of either encouraging reports or covering up intra-military sexual assault was located for this timeframe.

There have been several reported cases of Chadian soldiers sexually assaulting civilian women, but these do not meet the criteria for intra-military rape or sexual assault for this variable.

"Women and girls experienced forced marriages – sometimes multiple – while with Boko Haram. Young girls, women who were already married, and widows were not excluded. The legacy of these forced marriages often hindered the transition to civilian life after exiting their group. In the absence of clear legal procedures, women and girls encountered difficulties in separating from the 'husbands' they were forced to marry. In Chad, where such separations were possible, the economic realities facing women post-exit meant that many could not afford to separate from these 'husbands' even if they wanted and could do so legally. Many also feared separation from their children as a result" (p 3)....more

Given the following documentation, there is no exoneration in the law allowing an individual accused of rape to have their criminal charges dismissed or overturned by subsequently marrying the victim. However, it should be noted that this only accounts for the legal framework and now what societal pressures may be in practice (ERD - CODER COMMENT).more

“The law prohibits FGM/C for girls and women, but the practice remained widespread, particularly in rural areas. By law FGM/C may be prosecuted as a form of assault, and charges may be brought against the parents of victims, medical practitioners, or others involved. Nevertheless, lack of specific penalties hindered prosecution, and authorities prosecuted no cases during the year” (Page 15).
