IRAQ - SOCIAL - WOMEN - CHILDREN - MARRIAGE - MINORS

IRAQ - SOCIAL - WOMEN - CHILDREN - MARRIAGE - MINORS
Women demonstrate near the Kadhimiya court in Iraq's capital Baghdad on November 21, 2021, in protest against the legalisation of a marriage contract for a 12-year-old girl. A legal battle waged by a mother to annul the marriage of her 12-year-old daughter sparked an uproar in Iraq, as a judge on November 21 postponed the hearing in the case for another week, while feminist activists protested against the marriage of minors.
