BAGHDAD (AP) — A contentious draft law being considered in Iraq could open the door to girls as young as nine getting married and would require wives to submit to sex on their husband's whim, provoking outrage from rights activists and many Iraqis who see it as a step backward for women's rights.

At this point America being in Iraq cannot and will not fix a backwards thinking country.I doubt the laws mean anything to the men wanting young wife 12 & up.And if enough men are unhappy with the laws.My guess is bombs would go off in various ways to send a message

Yet NOW is silent, as are all left wing “rights” groups. No, true “woman’s rights” mean that I have to pay for their birth control and abortions.

It never was fixable.

Many of us in the military pointed out why twenty three years ago in the wake of the 90 - 91 war.

The simple answer is to leave Islam.

Oh wait. If you disagree with this, you are already an apostate and subject to being honor-killed. Beatings probably already started. Protests won’t last long.

It WAS fixable:

1. Burn the mosques and korans.
2. Kill all the imams and scholars.
3. Forbid all muslim practices.
4. Crush all resistance mercilessly.
5. Take all the children away to Christian schools for 18 years.

Basically do what was done to the American Indians.
It was a successful model against Druids and Saxons as well.

Because that is what Islam is interested in - women’s rights.
