Summary
Proposed amendments to Iraq’s Personal Status Law could allow girls as young as 9 to marry, sparking outrage from rights groups and survivors like “Batta,” who endured abuse after being forced into marriage at 11.
The changes would shift decision-making power to clerics, undermining existing protections for women and children established in 1959.
Supporters claim the amendments promote family values, but critics call them a violation of children’s rights and a step toward legalized child abuse.
Activists and lawmakers are working to block the controversial proposal.
Who else did I ask questions about?
Oh, is this going to be like the last time you played dumb as to your past statements, and then when I brought receipts you went silent on the topic and proceeded to waste my fucking time? If it is, I’d at least like to know beforehand.
You certainly have a wild imagination because if you’re referring to the time I think you are, the last time you brought “receipts” it was you linking to posts of mine not containing anything you claimed I wrote. I don’t know why you’re so angry at me, but perhaps you would be better able to read my posts and not hallucinate patterns if you weren’t in a blind rage.
It really is unfortunate because I appreciate the information you gave in your initial response, but the hostility was so off-putting.
Fucking lol
Maybe stop cheerleading atrocities and fascists if you can’t even keep track of how often you fucking do it.
Oh, I’m sorry that I was rude to you when all you were doing was trying to play your usual “Amerikkka Bad” card by whitewashing a dictator who tortured and murdered on a literally genocidal scale. You know, not unlike what you do with Assad? Would you like to play apologist for the Taliban next? I know you’re just drooling over the possibility.
