    [rtl] November 10, 2017 - 6:00 Number of readings: 172   [/rtl]



    [rtl]The US State Department has strongly criticized the Iraqi parliament's approval in principle of a bill allowing the marriage of girls up to nine years of age.[/rtl]




    [rtl]Critics say the law, which Iraq seeks to pass, will make the power of religious courts much stronger than the courts of law in relation to the personal status file.[/rtl]




    [rtl]State Department spokesman Heather Neuert said on the sidelines of a news conference in Washington that the United States was categorically opposed to "the idea of ​​marrying non-adult children."[/rtl]




    [rtl]Nuerat likened the proposed Iraqi project to nothing less than what she was doing, saying that Washington has long condemned the horrendous practices of making children as brides.[/rtl]




    [rtl]"We continue to strongly oppose the idea of ​​marriage of adult children."[/rtl]




    [rtl]The current personal status law in Iraq dates back to 1959 and was considered one of the most advanced laws in the Middle East.[/rtl]




    [rtl]At that time, the Personal Status Law granted jurisdiction to judicial courts at the expense of religious courts following the fall of the monarchy in the 1950s.[/rtl]




    [rtl]The law set a minimum age of 18 for marriage, with restrictions on polygamy and the prohibition of forced marriage. The law has been in effect for years.[/rtl]




    [rtl]Months after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, Shi'ite religious parties sought to revise the law and tried to change it later in the year, but the United States thwarted it.[/rtl]




    [rtl]As US influence shrank in Iraq, Shiite parties reintroduced the marriage of minors to the forefront again in 2014. That same year, the cabinet approved a new draft, but the sudden appearance of Saddam and his capture of Mosul hampered parliamentary efforts to pass it.[/rtl]




    [rtl]With Iraq's legislative elections nearing May, lawmakers are trying to vote on the law in an apparent bid to win electoral gains.[/rtl]




    [rtl]The deputy speaker of the Kurdish parliamentary committee for human rights, Feroza Taha, condemned the bill and said it was "against internationally recognized rights for children."[/rtl]




    [rtl]She added that the law will not be applied in the Kurdistan region.[/rtl]




    [rtl]The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the United Nations Mission in Iraq Jan Kubic also criticized the draft law. The project must be severely criticized by civil society organizations in Iraq.[/rtl]

    Tohma: The US State Department's comment on the proposal to amend personal status is subjective and based on false information

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

    BAGHDAD / The head of the Parliamentary Virtue MP Ammar Tohma on Saturday described the US State Department's comment on the proposal to amend the personal status as "subjective" and based on false information.

    "We are surprised by the US State Department's comment on the proposed amendment to the Personal Status Law and its statement of misrepresentations and misinformation that was not included in the proposed law," he said in a statement. "It was better for the US State Department to verify its sources of information before making a statement about it. To the beliefs and adoptions of the Iraqi Muslim people and confusion of facts. "

    He added that the subject can be clarified with a number of points, and firstly, that the proposed law did not include allowing the marriage of minors and the distortion of this issue, which was issued by a few who deliberately upset the facts and changed them for reasons of ideological rivalry. On the contrary, it is possible to say that the requirements contained in the provisions of the Islamic Shariah to make the marriage contract guarantee a sound decision and a suitable choice for women, including that the wife is adult (ie non-minor), and be rational (the ability to distinguish interest, awareness of the social environment and the distinction between beneficial and harmful) ), As well as permission Her, which is of course Aerdy to marry off his daughter, a minor, and contributes to his opinion and advice to rationalize women's choice for his experience and his experience of life on the one hand and its nature Almajabulh to maintain their interest and seek to make him happy on the other hand, and mandate conditional on the achievement, in addition to the judge authentication which you not if you break down the previous conditions. "

    He stressed that "if there is an objection to some articles of the proposed law can be discussed in the relevant committees and the second reading of the law is the usual context in the legislation of laws, why a comment from the outside of a major state on the law is still on the first reading and the committees did not complete discussions on the basis of false information and sources Not objective, is it a proactive attitude to exclude religion from the lives of Iraqis? "

    He pointed out that "the proposed law did not include the abolition of the law in force No. 188 of 1959, and make the citizen selected in the organization of personal conditions in accordance with the law that is believed and corresponds with his beliefs and ideas, which is contained in Article 41 of the Constitution to the Iraqis.

    "The majority did not impose their views and doctrines on others and respected the beliefs and choices of others. It is better for others to confront this behavior with a similar behavior that respects the belief and thought of the majority and the candidate from the rules governing its personal conditions."

    "Article 17 of the Constitution stipulates that" the Constitution respects the personal privacy of every individual in a way that is not contrary to the rights of others. "It is clear that the subject of this law is an individual personal matter. Not to diminish the rights of others. "

    He pointed out that "the text of the Iraqi constitution prohibits the enactment of a law that contradicts the fundamentals of Islam. It is clear that some of the provisions of the Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959 are against the Shari'a and the late religious authority Mr. Mohsen al-Hakim declared his criticism and his strong opposition to the law at the time. In accordance with the provisions of Islamic law, and therefore the proposed law stems from a constitutional document to correct and address explicit violations of legitimacy.

    "Many Iraqi Muslims conduct their personal affairs outside the courts to ensure that they conform to their beliefs and then register them in the courts," he said. "The law proposal will formalize these practices and in the state departments to safeguard the rights of both parties.

    "We note the ambiguity and contradictions in the behavior of commentators and dissenters. While they strongly object to early marriage, they encourage sexual practices in primary schools for male and female students and require them to swim in classes. Some of these civilizations criminalize marriage at a certain age The same practice and relationship at the same age if they are illegitimate! ".

    He pointed out that "the possibilities envisaged mentally in the legislation of the Personal Status Law are limited to three possibilities. First, we should enact a law that includes uniform provisions for all and is applicable to everyone. The doctrine of a particular group is adopted without the belief of others. In this option, some Iraqis are forced to regulate their personal situation, The Constitution and the rights and freedoms and Article 17 of the Constitution, or to enact a law that includes uniform provisions for all Iraqis and choose some of the provisions of the doctrine of a group and some of the doctrine of another group, and this is not clear because it is forced to apply some of his personal conditions His faith in addition to the provisions of the Personal Status worship services has not accepted political consensus because it is unlike the belief and commitment, or to leave the option for each group organizes personal their situations according Mtnebenyatea and its ideology which is appropriate with the Constitution, personal freedom and the requirements of the civil state, which takes into account privacy and provide guarantees of commitment to their owners by. "

    The head of the Virtue bloc, said that "the requirements of civil society management of its public and common elements in accordance with a legal system flat on everyone and inclusive in the validity of all members, and the preservation of personal privacy and secure expression and practice in accordance with the laws appropriate to them and not incompatible with the rights of others."
