I quickly googled this and mostly found sources like Fox News or Times of India that follow some agenda.
So here’s a Guardian article on the topic in case anyone was wondering about a commonly known source: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/aug/09/proposed-iraqi-law-change-would-legalise-child-say-activists
Basically there are some religious hardliners that are in the pocket of Iran that want to reduce the marriage age to 9 which would effectively end up in legalizing child rape. Opponents of this are being accused of „western decadence“. So basically after the
destabilizationliberation of Iraq politics are dominated by the same people that run Iran.The people
sufferingenjoying their liberation are the normal people as usual.
