Organizers have planned protests in at least seven provinces on Thursday throughout Iraq in response to the introduction of amendments to a core family legal framework that could legalize child marriages, deprive widows of their inheritance, and facilitate sex slavery.
The Iraqi Parliament began to debate amendments to the Personal Status Law on Sunday that would, critics say, effectively dissolve the country’s universal standards to protect women and girls on matters such as consent to marriage, alimony, and custody of children by allowing men to opt out, choosing traditional Shiite or Sunni Islamic mandates, instead. While child marriages, sex slavery, and other abuses are rampant in modern-day Iraq, they are not technically legal. Iraqi law currently requires both men and women to be 18 years old to enter marriage, allows a woman to inherit her husband’s assets in the event of his death, and allows for unconditional inter-religious marriage.

Bush and Cheney own this garbage. Should be forced to live there.
Following the example of Big Mo!
I’m shocked all of this wasn’t already legal.
That’s a parliament that needs to be wiped off the face of the earth. We got rid of Hussein, time to do it again, but with those leading Iraq at the moment.
Allah wills it.
just following their prophet
Islamic perversion!
Who had: “Iraq will be further along the accepted- pedophilia curve than San Francisco or Seattle” on their bingo-card?
Supposedly some of our Afghan allies arrived here with child brides. I didn’t here what happened. How do you integrate that culture?
Between Muslims on one side and the Left on the other, a kid cannot get a break.
Let children be children!
Find a goat if you’re that damn horny.
So, they’re doing them now illegally?
Just following the example established by their beloved “prophet.”
“Old enough to bleed....”
Nothing to see here besides third century barbarism 2000 years later and flourishing around the globe.
In other news, Joe Biden announces intention to retire to Iraq.
Probably was done to protect 5-8 year olds.
Yup. Fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the people and the culture that lives there.
Muslims need a strong man. They yearn for a strong man. Their religion inherently requires a strong man to lead them, and a strong man is the only way they will be forced to become civilized.
This 9 year old stuff is part of their religion. Create "Democracy" in a Muslim country, and you will get Sharia law and imposed Muslim ideology.
I’m reposting here for stubbornness.
Does anyone here have a sense of whether our Iraqi “allies” in Baghdad truly want our military bases and presence to remain there? Is our military presence at our bases (shared bases?) the only think keeping the Iraqi government upright and intact?
I wonder how many troops and Consular diplomats/dependents we have in-country in Iraq these day?
Mohammad married Aisha when she was 6, and consummated when she was 9. (See my FR home page for that and other examples from Islam’s own scriptures)
A Muslim is religiously not allowed to prohibit what Mo allowed, or do what Mo prohibited.
