We want the whole world to stand with the women of Iraq.
This law separates children from their mothers, abolishes the legal marriage age of 18, and opens the door to child marriage. It contains major contradictions: a child is not allowed to choose to live with their mother until they turn 18, while at the same time, it would be possible for them to marry before the age of 18.
It also prevents women from inheriting land, and allows a husband to change the marriage contract before or after divorce and subject it to Jaafari law without the womanโs knowledge.
After the husbandโs death, custody would be transferred to his family, and it would not return to the mother unless a religious authority approves it.
There are many other regressive provisions as well. I hope you will take a few minutes to research this law, and I hope you will stand with us and share our message.
