The move comes just days after a bill introduced in Iraq's parliament sparked widespread outrage and concern over its attempt to raise the legal age for marriage for women.From 18 to 9 years oldThe person who proposed this motion is so evil. How can a 9-year-old girl be fertile?

On the 8th, Iraqi people protested on the streets of the capital Baghdad against the amendment to the Personal Status Law, criticizing it for fueling sectarianism in the country, deepening sectarian divisions, giving religious clergy power above the law, and depriving women of their rights.

In my opinion, how evil and ignorant must a government be to propose such a shocking bill? This is a disgrace to all civilized societies. Has Iraq been beaten stupid by the United States?

The amendment will allow individual marriage and family issues to be adjudicated on the basis of Sunni and Shia law. According to the Jaafari school of thought, women and men can marry at the age of 9 and 15 respectively. Therefore, the amendment may legalize child marriage and violate women's rights. It can be seen that Iraq is really evil in some aspects. It is even more excessive than India in protecting women's rights. These two religions in Iraq should have been swept into the dust of history long ago. Their existence is a regression of civilization.
