I think The Onion has better taste than to joke about this topic.

I’m so glad we brought freedom to that country 👏👏👏
I don’t know if Netanyahu is glad now that the Iraqi resistance is attacking Israel. But he did a good job selling it to congress.
Are those nine year olds also allowed to vote?
We’re not talking about humans. It’s just girls.
/s… Obviously…
What other legally binding documents can a nine year old sign?
Country run by pedophiles apparently
No, it is a parliamentary democracy.
A democracy is never a guarantee of favorable or progressive outcomes.
Nonetheless, it’s still run by pedophiles. And if this is because of voting, then the people voting on this are pedophiles as well.
Apparently??
I don’t think it’s ever been much of a secret. Not all of them are monsters, just the ones in power and their concubines
The people voted for this though. The secular dictatorship was replaced by a democracy, and this is something Sunni and Shia parties agree on with a majority in the parliament. The old (abolished) law was introduced in 1959 with the beginning of the republican era after the end of the monarchy in 1958.
Even the opposition to it doesn’t look that popular, not a lot of people:
The US put Iraq through sanctions, killed its scientists, and artists, and then invaded it and destroyed its infrastructure. The majority of Iraqis left through all that trauma had nothing but their religion institutions and tribal connections left, and through the democratic system the US imposed voted for this directly or indirectly. It sucks, but the destruction of Iraq started years ago.
Why not just remove it entirely? 9 is oddly specific
Because 8 is too young, you pervert!
I guess it matches Aisha’s age in the Qur’an
Libertarian paradise
Wondering if anyone who knows the language/region.
Can confirm the terms they use. Because age of consent when its clear the child is not able to express a chioce or old enouth to understand what they would be agreeing to.
Seems like a western interpretation. Or are the laws there really that hypocritical in their terminology.
Did they also make rule about marrying widows? Apart from Aisha, all of the Prophet Muhammad’s wives were widows
Sorry for bad english. English isn’t my native language and i use translator
Iraq is bringing back child marriage!!
So this is what US/UK war on achieved.
Poor timing for anyone who just accepted a four year position on Trump’s cabinet.
Oh great, now some US states are gonna get jealous.
Y’all-queda is taking notes
