The Minors(2013)

The Minors is a dramatic series that confronts the practice of child marriage in rural Egypt. The story follows Abdel Qawy, an older man who takes multiple young brides, and the mounting tension between him and those determined to stop him—particularly Etr and Attiat. The series examines the social and personal consequences of this tradition through the eyes of those fighting against it. Set against the backdrop of a conservative community, The Minors explores how systemic inequality and cultural customs trap vulnerable girls, while showing the courage of individuals willing to challenge deeply entrenched practices. The drama unfolds as resistance grows, forcing a reckoning with values that have long gone unchallenged.
