A shocking wedding – in Iraq, a 35-year-old man officially married a 9-year-old girl for the first time
Frames of the wild wedding were published on social networks.
This became possible after the adoption of a new law that lowered the age of consent for marriage from 18 to 9 years.
The proposal to legalize marriages with children came from ultra-conservative Shiite parties.
The law also deprived Iraqi women of the right to divorce, custody of children and inheritance.
The ruling coalition in Iraq is confident that the proposed changes comply with the strict norms of Islamic law.
They are allegedly aimed at protecting young girls from immoral relationships.
In fact, this is the ruling coalition’s latest step to restrict women’s rights in the country.
