The Iraqi parliament is set to lower the legal marriage age from 18 to
nine by amending a bill from 1959 called Law 188, which had
established the current age of consent alongside other protections for
women and girls.[1]

The amendment, which is being pushed by conservative Shiite parties,
will also strip women's right to divorce their husbands, have custody
of their children, and collect inheritance
