Girls as young as nine could be forced into marriage in Iraq, as conservative groups in parliament push to lower the age of consent.

      Apparently??

      I don’t think it’s ever been much of a secret. Not all of them are monsters, just the ones in power and their concubines

        The people voted for this though. The secular dictatorship was replaced by a democracy, and this is something Sunni and Shia parties agree on with a majority in the parliament. The old (abolished) law was introduced in 1959 with the beginning of the republican era after the end of the monarchy in 1958.

        Even the opposition to it doesn’t look that popular, not a lot of people:

        The US put Iraq through sanctions, killed its scientists, and artists, and then invaded it and destroyed its infrastructure. The majority of Iraqis left through all that trauma had nothing but their religion institutions and tribal connections left, and through the democratic system the US imposed voted for this directly or indirectly. It sucks, but the destruction of Iraq started decades ago.

      No, it is a parliamentary democracy.

      A democracy is never a guarantee of favorable or progressive outcomes.

        Nonetheless, it’s still run by pedophiles. And if this is because of voting, then the people voting on this are pedophiles as well.

      I don’t know if Netanyahu is glad now that the Iraqi resistance is attacking Israel. But he did a good job selling it to congress.

    Why not just remove it entirely? 9 is oddly specific

      I think The Onion has better taste than to joke about this topic.

    Wondering if anyone who knows the language/region.

    Can confirm the terms they use. Because age of consent when its clear the child is not able to express a chioce or old enouth to understand what they would be agreeing to.

    Seems like a western interpretation. Or are the laws there really that hypocritical in their terminology.
