Iraqi anger over legislation allowing minor marriages ... Amending the personal status law faces charges of violating women and children
Baghdad and Babylon / Iqbal Mohammed
Warned of organizations defending the rights of women in Babylon and Baghdad, the dominance of male authority over Iraqi society after the attempts of parliament to pass the law amendment of the Civil Status Act, which obliges the courts competent to issue judgments according to the doctrine of the husband, and called for the House of Representatives to accelerate the adoption of the law against domestic violence to prevent violations Which is exposed to women and children inside homes, the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights, "the amendments put forward by the Iraqi Council of Representatives on the Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959, a setback for the gains of Iraqi women."
"The amendment in Article 10 allows the marriage of underage girls at the age of nine years and allows the husband to marry without polygamy, and allowed him to take the baby two years old from his mother and force the wife to live with her husband's parents, "These amendments are a setback for the gains of Iraqi women that they got half a century ago."
The Observatory added that "the text of article (1) paragraph (b) is considered a clear call to weaken the principle of the independence of the judiciary," explaining that "the new law transforms the crime of marriage outside the court into a permissible act as amended Article 10 (5).
"The personal status law, voted in principle in the House of Representatives, will enshrine the laws introduced by Dawsha and violate international human rights laws," said Farah Al-Sarraj, a member of the parliamentary legal committee.
"The continuation of the steps of the legislation of this law is contrary to international laws that preserve human rights, especially young people, and unfortunately some politicians try to pass this law to tune with the masses of religious fanatics to get their votes in the elections."
"This amendment is a setback for women's rights and is working to dismantle the family and instill sectarianism even within the family," said member of the Committee on Women and the Family, Nisr al-Jubouri.
For her part, Alia Al-Ansari, Director General of the Organization of the Girlfriends for the "range", said that "the proposal to amend the personal status law now before the parliament is a real setback for the human rights and citizenship system, in addition to consecrating the masculinity of Iraqi society and increasing the dominance of men, ) Of the first article which (obligates the competent court in all its decisions issued by the follow-up of what is issued by the Scientific Council in the Office of the Shiite Waqf and issued by the Scientific and Epistemological Council in the Bureau of the Sunni Endowment and according to the doctrine of the husband) Here is a major disaster following the doctrine of the husband Why Follow the doctrine of Sunni husband? Sunni women and why follow the Shiite doctrine of her husband why this is the cancellation of the women Btabaah the doctrine of the husband what we really need is a civil law unites all Iraqis and regulates their rights in a fair and decent fit for human dignity and commensurate with the global system of rights. "
Al-Ansari explained, "We had hoped the Iraqi parliament to make fair and serious amendments to the Penal Code and the Labor Code with regard to the equity of working women and accelerate the vote on the law against domestic violence and fair and equitable legislation to access rights in a sound and easy and fair. And the rooting of male power in society. "
"We have the best law of the first republic that achieved many legal gains and rights for which Iraqi women fought for the period that went through the royal era. Women were liberated from clan authority, A new law restricting women. "
"Women have suffered more than men during the rule of tyrant, especially during the period of wars that ignited the sacrifices that were not made in any country in the world after the Second World War, where millions of them lost sons or husbands and brothers," Hussein said in an interview with Al-Mada. And soon the son of a neighbor and bore the extra work and considers the woman is the rock has been pleased and joy in salvation from the regime of the tyrant, but regrettable in the New Testament, the powerful forces tried more than once to pass laws reluctant to the role of Iraqi women, especially on the political level, but failed after the unity of women's desire to stand Against all those attempts Which are trying to undermine women. "
Hussein said that "the damage of the new law can restore women to the level of what was in the pre-Islamic time and deprive women of all political rights and marry the girl who is only 9 years old, which is no less than an attempt to rape and have only the legislation of law and the eradication of women and deprivation Women of all their civil rights ".
Adel Hameed al-Yasiri, a poet and writer, said: "The enactment of the Personal Status Law is a serious blow to our aspirations to establish the foundations of civil society that national forces seek to achieve in order to build a democratic society that has become the biggest dream for large segments of our society."
"The proposed personal status law comes first against the woman's entity as an important partner to destroy it by degrading her dignity and destroying her moral identity," Yasiri said in an interview with Al-Mady. "When it is permissible to marry minors, it turns women into humiliating items that are sold and bought without their consent or acceptance. This is not to mention that this minor, when married, takes her childhood first and then becomes an immature and unfit mother to nurture a generation with the right values. "
The Observatory added that "the text of article (1) paragraph (b) is considered a clear call to weaken the principle of the independence of the judiciary," explaining that "the new law transforms the crime of marriage outside the court into a permissible act as amended Article 10 (5).
