kumar_tarak Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Iraq's parliament is considering a bill that would put personal laws in the control of religious jurists and thereby allow girls as young as 9 years old to get married. The bill is part of a larger trend where hardliners try to boost their religious credentials by limiting women's rights. A controversial bill that could potentially reduce the legal marriage age for girls to 9 and boys to 15 has been introduced in Iraq's parliament. The draft bill will further allow citizens to choose either religious authorities or the civil judiciary to decide on family affairs, sparking widespread concerns over how it could be used to undermine legal proceedings related to inheritance, child custody and divorce. The Personal Status Law in the country stipulates the legal marriage age to be 18; that this bill could blatantly change that is the most feared facet of the proposal.
