Original Note:
Iraq didn’t lower the age of consent to 9. The new amendments allow Islamic courts to rule on marriage, based on interpretations of Islamic law, which opponents say would effectively allow child marriage. Legally, Iraqi civil law sets 18 as the general minimum age. https://amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/21/middleeast/iraq-child-marriage-lawmakers-criticize-bill-intl-hnk?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17376269982744&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2025%2F01%2F21%2Fmiddleeast%2Firaq-child-marriage-lawmakers-criticize-bill-intl-hnk%2Findex.html .
