While Iraqi women are furiously fighting for the safety of their girls, the general attitude among "Macho" Muslim Iraqi men is "what's wrong with marrying a minor"? Actually given that their Prophet married a youngster about that age, they have a strong religious precedent to stand on.

Sounds like Appalachia.

Sounds like a red state.

You do know the age of consent was ten in the US at one time...

It's right wing reaction to modernity. The leadership is hard right conservatives. Like the Taliban. Like our MAGA Worker's Party. We've seen this before.

Same thing happened in Arabia in 1979.. KSA took a giant step backwards.

The reality is with education women in the Arab world have made great strides.. in the past 30 years marriage age in the Gulf States has increased from 17-23.

PS.. Aisha was born before the Call so she was 19 years old.
