Iraq’s parliament passes the ‘Personal Status Law Amendment’ bill, which legalizes marriage for children over 9 years old.
The bill seeks to strengthen the authority of Islamic courts in family matters, including marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
Iraqi law sets the minimum marriage age at 18.
The amendment, based on the clergy’s interpretation of the Islamic code, allows girls in the early 1st generation to be married, even as young as 9 years old.
Yes.
Child marriage is a long-standing problem in Iraq, with 2,896 Iraqi girls marrying before they turn 18, according to a 2023 UN survey.
I got married.
Iraqi women’s rights groups claimed that “the passage of this bill will have a detrimental effect on the rights of women and girls.”
