⚡The Iraqi authorities intend to lower the "age of consent" for girls from 18 to 9 years old — The Telegraph The Iraqi parliament is considering an amendment to the personal status law that would lower the "age of consent" for girls from 18 to 9 years old. This would allow adult men to legally marry children. Additionally, the amendment would strip women of rights to divorce, child custody, and inheritance. The ruling coalition claims that the amendment aligns with Islamic law and aims to protect girls from "immoral relationships." @odes_news
