Iraq is poised to slash the legal age of consent from 18 to to nine, allowing men to marry young children.
The proposed legal change also deprives women of rights to divorce, child custody and inheritance.
Iraq’s parliament, which is dominated by a coalition of conservative Shia Muslim parties, is preparing to vote through an amendment that would overturn the country’s “personal status law”.
The legislation, also known as Law 188, was heralded as one of the most progressive in the Middle East when it was introduced in 1959 and provides an overarching set of rules governing the affairs of Iraqi families, regardless of their religious sect.
As well as bringing down the legal marriage age, the amendment would also remove women’s rights to divorce, child custody and inheritance.
Islam at its best.
I guess the disgruntled Hollywood elites that are threatening to leave the country will have a place to go now.
Also, this is disgusting.
yeah when it's pre-pubescent children, it's literally pedophilia. this is legalized pedophilia.
if a 16-year old sleeps with a 9-year old... that's still pedophilia. because one has experienced puberty, and the other hasn't.
messed up.
Unfortunately some girls hit puberty at 9 now, instead of 13 to 15 like it was once. I guess all the estrogen mimicking chems infiltrating foods and the environment.
I think Trump should give them a phone call and suggest they don't do this.
Yup withold any money we are giving them
True evil. Demons.
Pray for these children and their women too. This has got to stop.
They're trying to attract immigrants from Congress and Hollyweird.
WOW JUST LIKE THEIR PROPHET MUHAMMED
Think his was 8
If they did this when i was interested in enlisting back in 2008 I'd have been the first in line.
Goddamn. Here we go again...
So what about the dancing boys? Fuck them on thursday and be absolved of sin on friday, rinse and repeat.
