Summary
Proposed amendments to Iraq’s Personal Status Law could allow girls as young as 9 to marry, sparking outrage from rights groups and survivors like “Batta,” who endured abuse after being forced into marriage at 11.
The changes would shift decision-making power to clerics, undermining existing protections for women and children established in 1959.
Supporters claim the amendments promote family values, but critics call them a violation of children’s rights and a step toward legalized child abuse.
Activists and lawmakers are working to block the controversial proposal.
Oh, is this going to be like the last time you played dumb as to your past statements, and then when I brought receipts you went silent on the topic and proceeded to waste my fucking time? If it is, I’d at least like to know beforehand.
You certainly have a wild imagination because if you’re referring to the time I think you are, the last time you brought “receipts” it was you linking to posts of mine not containing anything you claimed I wrote. I don’t know why you’re so angry at me, but perhaps you would be better able to read my posts and not hallucinate patterns if you weren’t in a blind rage.
It really is unfortunate because I appreciate the information you gave in your initial response, but the hostility was so off-putting.

Maybe stop cheerleading atrocities and fascists if you can’t even keep track of how often you fucking do it.

Oh, I’m sorry that I was rude to you when all you were doing was trying to play your usual “Amerikkka Bad” card by whitewashing a dictator who tortured and murdered on a literally genocidal scale. You know, not unlike what you do with Assad? Would you like to play apologist for the Taliban next? I know you’re just drooling over the possibility.
