Summary
Proposed amendments to Iraq’s Personal Status Law could allow girls as young as 9 to marry, sparking outrage from rights groups and survivors like “Batta,” who endured abuse after being forced into marriage at 11.
The changes would shift decision-making power to clerics, undermining existing protections for women and children established in 1959.
Supporters claim the amendments promote family values, but critics call them a violation of children’s rights and a step toward legalized child abuse.
Activists and lawmakers are working to block the controversial proposal.
Wikipedia articles also can link to more sources off-site, so one Wikipedia link can be dozens if not more sources.

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.
