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.
I don’t know why you have to be so hostile over a genuine question.
What hostility? Don’t “just ask questions” if you’re not man enough for the answer.
Yeah, what hostility? 🙄
Then you add in some dumb shit about being “man enough” without a shred of self-awareness. Are you trolling or are you genuinely like this? Note that PugJesus has yet to show where I was “just asking questions” ever, but don’t let that get in the way of your cheerleading for his baseless accusations.
