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.In the meantime, in Iran, age of consent is
1513 (Src https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia). Too low as well, but not 9 FFS.Opponents of this are being accused of „western decadence“
Those damned hedonists indulging in the luxury of… checks notes… keeping their dicks out of kids.

Fucking disgusting
Came here and expected this as the top comment.
They probably got Trump’s blessing on this one
So they just want to legalize what they’ve been doing all the time anyways?
Nothing to see here guys. All cultures are equal and thinking the West has a better way is colonialism
/s
Sure the west and their settler colonialism massive resource extraction and so on is great. And its not like the many religious problems against say homosexuality in christian Africa can’t be directly be blamed on christian missionaries. And its also not like poverty and brutal attacks on secular nationalists in the middle east in the name of fighting communism has anything to do with modern political Islam. No sir.
That’s quite some whataboutism. I’m clearly talking about the insanity of 9 year old girls being forced to wed…
You could have left colonialism out of it. You brought the western shit into the discussion. If you just said the west has better age of consent, everyone would agree.
No, I was making the point that it’s currently popular to shit on the West exporting its ideals, but when it’s something as blindingly obvious as “maybe 9 year old girls shouldn’t be forced into marriage” then maybe on this one occasion that sense of superiority is well placed and necessary
That is clearly a reach given the statement “thinking the west has a better way is colonialism” is a massively ahistorical racist take.
You don’t think the West has a better approach on whether or not 9 year old girls are forced to wed?
You’re acting like plenty of politicians in the West wouldn’t do this if they could.

State a single mainstream western political movement in which marriage at 9 is not complete insanity
Age of consent to sex, not marriage.
https://www.ageofconsent.net/world
According to this, it looks like the closest country to this age of consent is Nigeria, at 11.
If you want age of marriage, in the US, looks like four states will let you marry at any age, but require special conditions like parental approval or court approval:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_age_in_the_United_States
California, Utah, Oklahoma, and Mississippi.
Nigeria is not “the West”
Child marriage in the US is rare, in sharp decline and is heavily skewed towards poverty and Native Americans. Numerous political movements exist to raise minimum marriage age to 16-18.
So again, name a mainstream Western political movement where marriage at 9 is not insanity
Nigeria is not “the West”
I didn’t say it was. I’m just indicating wherevthe floor is.
That guy from Rhode Island is stoked.
“Consent”
Like consent even comes into it
Age of “unprosecutable rape” is more like it.
Con (people that) sent (isnt the smell of child rape)
If they can consent to extra sprinkles on their ice cream, they can be child sex slaves.
(Edit: I just wanna say I’m so glad I didn’t need the /s for people to… Wait, I hope people aren’t actually agreeing with this)
Digital footprit
It’s The Religion of Peace, you see, which in looking the other way, in no way infantilizes the entire culture, which is good, because they’re marrying the girl infants away
🤮
Read the headline, immediately checked if this was some the onion type of magazine
Well, it has been that kind of day
more like age of coercion
YIIIIIIKES
