Well yeah, it is rape and child abuse.
I would imagine that fueling rape and child abuse is the point.
Republicans are taking notes.
They don't need to take any notes. Child marriage is legal and still happening in many US states. And you guessed it, it's Replicans who defend those laws, by invoking "family values".
It's horrible that they plan to change the law to allow that to happen over there, but we here in the US aren't in any position to feel morally superior about it till we finally ban it ourselves.
I have maybe a handful of memories made under 9 years old. Just imagine being married for as far back as you can remember. These poor girls
Oh don't worry, trauma victims will have plenty of memories from that age 🤢🤮
Others, like fellow Shia lawmaker Alya Nassif, called for the proposals to be voted down like similar amendments were in 2014 and 2017. Calling the proposals “dangerous,” Nassif said the law “threatens society and families.” She added that the members of parliament had been presented with “a collection of ideas written on two sheets of paper,” rather than “legal articles that are needed to be discussed for voting.”
More proof, to me at least, that there is no god out there.
I mean really yeah.
Either God doesn't exist. Or God does exist and allows this crap to happen, which is akin to just approving of it. And if that's the case hail Satan.
claim the amendments support family values
I mean I guess it makes more family, but Jesus Christ
Morons: They should get the run the country how they want, and if you don't like it LEAVE.
Was this a thing when Saddam was still in charge?
Were illegal marriages a thing when Saddam was still in charge, or were legislation proposals with any ambiguity about passing a thing when Saddam was still in charge?
Yes. No. Respectively.
Great JAQing off about a dictator who gouged out children's eyes.
For those wondering about the issue of child marriage in Iraq before the modern day who aren't perpetual apologists for whatever fascists they can find to drool over,
“I lost my life the day my marriage began. I was 13, and the man I had to marry was 20 years older than me.” Shaima’s story is one told only within the intimacy of a home. Nestled on the couch of a modest yet tastefully decorated living room, she sips her Turkish coffee, ensuring there are enough grounds left to read her fortune in search of signs of better days. She smokes cigarette after cigarette, taking a long drag before exhaling as if symbolically releasing her life story.
Born in 1977 in a village near Basra in southern Iraq, Shaima was the eldest of nine siblings raised amid the violence of the 1980s Iran-Iraq War. It was a childhood “with just enough money to buy bread each day, nothing more,” she recalled. “My father sold me to the brother of one of his friends. I didn’t want to marry him; he was too old, violent, and always angry. But I couldn’t refuse.” From this forced marriage came five children. “I had my first child at 14. I was so young and exhausted that one day, I fell asleep while breastfeeding my baby girl. She suffocated and died.” The silence that followed the confession is crushing.
I don't know why you have to be so hostile over a genuine question.
What hostility? Don't "just ask questions" if you're not man enough for the answer.
What hostility?
JAQing off about a dictator
perpetual apologists for whatever fascists they can find to drool over
Yeah, what hostility? 🙄
Then you add in some dumb shit about being "man enough" without a shred of self-awareness. Are you trolling or are you genuinely like this? Note that PugJesus has yet to show where I was "just asking questions" ever, but don't let that get in the way of your cheerleading for his baseless accusations.
Because you have a pattern of 'just asking questions' on every fascist cunt who comes up? I apologize for having a basic sense of pattern recognition.
Who else did I ask questions about?
Oh, is this going to be like the last time you played dumb as to your past statements, and then when I brought receipts you went silent on the topic and proceeded to waste my fucking time? If it is, I'd at least like to know beforehand.
You certainly have a wild imagination because if you're referring to the time I think you are, the last time you brought "receipts" it was you linking to posts of mine not containing anything you claimed I wrote. I don't know why you're so angry at me, but perhaps you would be better able to read my posts and not hallucinate patterns if you weren't in a blind rage.
It really is unfortunate because I appreciate the information you gave in your initial response, but the hostility was so off-putting.

Maybe stop cheerleading atrocities and fascists if you can't even keep track of how often you fucking do it.

Oh, I'm sorry that I was rude to you when all you were doing was trying to play your usual "Amerikkka Bad" card by whitewashing a dictator who tortured and murdered on a literally genocidal scale. You know, not unlike what you do with Assad? Would you like to play apologist for the Taliban next? I know you're just drooling over the possibility.
I don't know what you think that link is supposed to show, but you'd have to be on something powerful to think me saying democrats should try to stop the genocide instead of sending billions in support is somehow me "cheerleading atrocities".
I still don't know what I did to piss you off so much, but apparently you're so angry that you've built a whole strawman of me and you've just been fighting with that strawman this entire time. Have fun with that, hope it helps you relieve stress.
Nope, he was absolutely not a good man, but he kept order and stability that America and Israel to wipe that out.

But sure, the dreaded West is to blame!
I'm sorry, is your source just a literal Wikipedia page? Are you serious? Bro get outta here 🤣
Your response is so damn stupid.
Theie link is to a Wikipedia article, which anyone can correct. I know you won't, because you don't care about the truth.
Wikipedia articles also can link to more sources off-site, so one Wikipedia link can be dozens if not more sources.
Seriously. It is just insane anyone takes these people seriously.
Every comment from them seems like part of a disinformation campaign.
Every comment likely is. I'm not one for stereotyping, but there is a very clear pattern.
I'm Sorry, is your home instance .ml? Are you serious? Bro get outta here :dumbass emoji:
What? I'm sorry I'm not joining you on that basement dweeb back and forth about home instance 🤣🤣🤣 I'm using Lemmy as a Reddit alternative, and ml was just the choice I set on because I love an underdog number 2 instance. you should consider touching grass and getting a hobby, there's bigger things in this world than this dude. Let it be a wake-up call before it's too late
When the laws being made are by a US-made puppet government that did not exist in the past regime... It's time to call things for how they are.
Edit: changed some phrasing
You know what fuck Iraq! The raping of children has got to stop!
The article is about Iraq, not Iran.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
