Iraq's new bill may lower marriage age for girls to nine, sparking outcry for women's rights

Iraq is set to introduce a bill that may cut down the age of marriage to nine for girls and 15 for boys. Right advocates have raised an alarm that the bill introduced in the Iraqi parliament would roll back women's rights in an already patriarchal society and increase the prevalence of underage marriages in the country.

The bill, as per AFP, would allow citizens to choose between religious authorities or the civil judiciary for decisions on family matters.

Critics of the bill argue that the proposed changes could drastically reduce protections in areas such as inheritance, divorce, and child custody.

Of particular concern is the potential impact on the minimum age for marriage, which is currently set at 18 under the 1959 Personal Status Law. Opponents of the bill worry that it could effectively remove this age restriction, despite denials from lawmakers supporting the changes. ...

The Iraqi government approved a new law stripping the rights of all non-Muslims in the country.
They also effectively legalized child marriage by lowering the minimum legal marriage age to just 9.
Will there be any protest against this true apartheid state? I guess not.

This is irredeemable EVIL. How many American lives did George W. Bush sacrifice to so called 'SAVE' these people so they can rape prepubescent tiny little girls who have no hair and are not even menstruating? Thanks George! Good Job! Great War!

“Would politicians let their nine-year-old daughter get married? I’m sure not but they would allow the oppressed Iraqi population to do so,” Suhalia Al Assam, a women’s rights activist, told The National on Wednesday, amid outrage caused by proposed amendments to Iraq's Personal Status Law.

If passed, the changes, pushed by mostly Islamist Shiite parliamentarians, could legalise child marriages and allow for personal status matters to be ruled on the basis of sectarian law.

Critics of the amendments fear this could fuel sectarianism in the country and empower religious clerics over civil courts.

The Iraqi parliament held its first reading of the bill on Sunday, causing immediate criticism as a protest is expected to be held in Baghdad on Thursday afternoon to denounce the proposed changes. In order for a bill to become binding it must have three readings, be debated thoroughly and then a vote will be held unanimously. ...

So what?  America is sorta kinda maybe done with Iraq.  If Iraqis want to live in a $h!thle country, that's their right to self-determination.

America needs to start paying attention to America.  The Middle East is a bottomless pit of strife.

All the Leftist Globalist useful idiots who shout, "Islam is NOT the same a Pedophilia!!" just got punched in the mouth by the very people they are committed to 'defend'. Rich White Leftists protest and scream, 'Islam is not pedophilia!" 

All the Islamists counter protest them and yell as loud as possible, "YES WE ARE! YES IT IS!"

The Muslims' treatment of women and girls is sickening.

Islamic state militants getting ready to go to the slave market and buy Yazidi sex slaves. Look how excited these disgusting monsters were.

If 9 year olds were good enough for Mohamad, why not. 

Mohamed's see. Mohamed's do.

"The Iraqi government approved a new law stripping the rights of all non-Muslims in the country.
They also effectively legalized child marriage by lowering the minimum legal marriage age to just 9."

Remember, we fought for them (and this).

Back just after Operation Iraqi Freedom, just after they held national elections, one of the first acts of the newly-elected Iraqi government was to make islam the state religion.

After that, I started posting (on another forum then), "the question".
I'll post it once again:
Who's winning...??

Hint:
Look at England and France to see the future of "Western" civilization...

The west is controlled by idiots.

And Iraq passing legislation to allow nine year old girls to marry reinforces just how barbaric and evil these people are.

The USA would have been wise to stay out of Iraq.  All that US treasury wasted on barbarians.  How stupid?  Extremely!!!

The only question is which one will be first - Minnesota or Michigan?
