Nine-year-old girls - forced into marriage

Nine years of age – children barely out of nappies, not yet in puberty; child of innocence and purity; bones not yet fully-hardened; body incomplete; sexually undeveloped; neuronal intelligence – decades left for the making; untouched by society; used to promote a life of debauchery – children trusting in human nature and people they call a loving family; enslaved to a life of rape, abuse, injustice and cruelty; unloved and unprotected – just used for sexual gratification.  What childhood should ever look like this – what marriage ever became this, under the auspice of love?

But this is exactly, what a new legislation will look like in Iraq – technically known as Law 188, which in 1959, tried to prevent all that is now on the chopping block – to throw out the legal protection offered to women that prevents the cultural marriage of a minor, below the age of 16 years.

This change in law will see young girls preyed on, stalked, abused and groomed at the early age of nine (9) years for perverse individuals who know not how to: love, honour and respect women; the sanctity of marriage; nor how to protect a minor, while in their most vulnerable state of undeveloped, unmatured physical being.

The ultra conservative Muslim parties seek to strip women and girls of their most basic human right – to grow up and mature into womanhood – after which the natural process of finding a partner and mating can occur. 
All species on the planet are privy to this natural law.  Politics, religion, nor cultural beliefs should ever be imposed on a young child – by coercion or physical power, purely for sexual relations before the body has matured physically, psychologically or emotionally.  It is an unnatural and harmful demand on nature that no species ever enters into…

So, how is it that the human race - in all its supposed, superior intellectual prowess and development, cannot comprehend nor abide by this fundamental law of nature?

One can only assume that such immoral behaviour comes into being, not through intelligence, but from closed-minded individuals, who appear cognitively impaired.

So, if such countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran who operate under similar practices, consider themselves to be progressive - by all extremes of this word, they will without doubt, shut-down and eradicate such archaic thinking. They will uphold the rights of women and young girls who just want to grow up as nature intended. 

​They will take time to think about the direction of their culture, and how they wish to be perceived on a global scale; in what direction they want to see their culture develop and what this law could mean and say to their population of people.  They will not be swayed by a minority of dictators to stay in the past, but will be inspired to go forth - into a powerful and impressive future grown out of love, empathy and consideration for women and young girls who are the lifeblood and incubators of their people - without whom they would not exist. ​
