Iraq law could lower a girl’s age of consent as an adult from 18 to 9: it ‘legalizes child rape’
The proposed law would also give religious authorities to carry out marriages of the children

We left Iraq worse than we found it: RFK, Jr.

Young girls in Iraq who are years away from becoming teenagers could be forced to become wives if a new Shia-backed law passes. The new law would lower a girl’s consent from 18 to age 9.
This includes allowing parents to have arranged marriages for their young daughters.
Iraq doesn’t have a male guardianship system that requires a female to have the permission of a husband, father or other male guardian to make crucial life decisions — like marriage. The law would also allow religious authorities to carry out marriages.
The proposed law that’s on its second way through the parliamentary government has been opposed by women in the members of parliament (MP) and activist groups, according to the Guardian.

“This is a catastrophe for women,” said Raya Faiq, the coordinator for a coalition of groups opposing the law change, which also includes some Iraqi MPs.
“My husband and my family oppose child marriage. But imagine if my daughter gets married and my daughter’s husband wants to marry off my granddaughter as a child. The new law would allow him to do so. I would not be allowed to object. This law legalizes child rape.”
The new law would bring back a Taliban-style of slashing women’s rights.

Iraqi citizens have protested on the streets of the country’s capital, Baghdad, and other cities around the country. The protests have been met with clashes against local law enforcement.
Although marriage under the age of 18 has been a national law since the 1950s, a survey by Unicef found that 28% of girls in Iraq got married before they turned 18.

Nadia Mahmood, co-founder of the Iraq-based Aman Women’s Alliance, said the male-dominated MP in Iraq feels threatened by a movement of youth organizations and women.
“Following the mass youth protests which took place in Iraq in 2019, these political players saw that the role of women had begun to strengthen in society,” said, according to a report by the Guardian. “They felt that feminist, gender and women’s organizations, plus civil society and activist movements, posed a threat to their power and status … [and] began to restrict and suppress them.”

There have been 25 female members of Iraq’s government who tried stopping the proposed law from going to a second vote, but they say the strong opposition by their male MP colleagues has made it nearly impossible.
“Unfortunately, male MPs who support this law speak in a masculine way, asking what’s wrong with marrying a minor? Their thinking is narrow-minded. They don’t take into consideration that they are the legislators that determine people’s fate … but rather follow their masculine thinking to authorize all this,” said Alia Nassif, an Iraqi MP.

Protesters fear that their children could face an even harsher future than their own if the law changes are adopted.
“I have one daughter, I don’t want her to be forced like me to marry as a child,” said Azhar Jassim, who had to leave school to be married at 16.
這樣的“內政”，是否也不能干涉⋯⋯是否還有力量可以干涉⋯⋯

突然想到一个问题，就是这种保护妇女儿童的干涉，何尝不是一个新的“以保护之名”呢
《權力的遊戲》（Game of Thrones）中的「龍母」丹妮莉絲·坦格利安（Daenerys Targaryen）在故事的第三季至第五季中，有一段重要的情節，展示她如何運用專制的力量來解放奴隸，尤其是在解放奴隸之城「彌林」（Meereen）的過程中，這成為她角色成長的關鍵部分，也揭示了權力和道德之間的複雜平衡。
1. 奴隸解放之路的背景
丹妮莉絲在拿下阿斯塔波（Astapor）後，以戰略計謀從奴隸主手中解放了訓練有素的「無垢者軍團」（Unsullied）。她用一隻龍（卓耿）作為交換，表面上是購買無垢者，實則在交易完成後立即反叛，並命令龍燒死奴隸主，從而奪取整支軍隊。這一行動是她解放奴隸的開端，也是她開始運用專制力量的首次展示。
2. 解放彌林的過程
在解放了阿斯塔波和渴望堡（Yunkai）後，丹妮莉絲來到了奴隸制根深蒂固的城市——彌林（Meereen）。她以軍事力量包圍城市，並成功鼓動城內的奴隸起義。在解放彌林後，丹妮莉絲面臨如何統治的挑戰。
為了廢除奴隸制，她頒布了嚴格的法令，禁止任何形式的奴隸制度。對於不服從的奴隸主和叛亂者，她毫不手軟，甚至採取了殘酷的手段來維持秩序。例如，她曾下令釘死163名奴隸主作為對他們曾虐待奴隸的報復行為，這引起了巨大的爭議。
3. 專制與自由的矛盾
丹妮莉絲雖然心懷解放奴隸、建立公平社會的理想，但她的行動卻往往帶有極權色彩。她深信自己是在行使「正義的力量」，但這種強制性的做法逐漸引起當地居民的不滿。彌林的奴隸解放後，出現了經濟崩潰、社會動盪，許多解放的奴隸反而選擇重新回到奴隸主的庇護下。這反映了丹妮莉絲在試圖改變體制時，忽略了當地文化和習俗的適應問題。
同時，彌林的精英階層組成了反抗組織「鷹身女妖之子」（Sons of the Harpy），秘密策劃刺殺行動以推翻丹妮莉絲的統治。為了鎮壓叛亂，丹妮莉絲不得不越發依賴她的龍和無垢者軍團，甚至採取公開處決的方式來震懾反抗者。
4. 專制力量的內心掙扎
在這段情節中，丹妮莉絲內心其實非常矛盾。她渴望解放奴隸，建立一個自由平等的社會，但卻不得不訴諸專制手段。她發現自己在追求正義的道路上，卻越來越像她曾痛恨的暴君。這種內心的掙扎讓她一度失去方向，也讓觀眾開始質疑她是否真的是「仁慈的解放者」。
在這個過程中，丹妮莉絲的幕僚——如喬拉·莫爾蒙（Jorah Mormont）、提利昂·蘭尼斯特（Tyrion Lannister）等人——都曾向她建議在執行正義與維持穩定之間找到平衡。然而，丹妮莉絲一方面固執地堅持自己的理想，另一方面又不得不承認現實的殘酷，逐漸讓她成為一位既仁慈又殘酷的領袖。
5. 角色成長的意涵
丹妮莉絲在解放奴隸的過程中，逐漸意識到真正的自由並不僅僅是廢除奴隸制度，而是要讓人民有選擇的權利。她也明白到，運用專制的力量雖然能夠迅速達成目標，但長遠來看，卻無法真正贏得民心。這段情節展示了權力的兩面性，也讓丹妮莉絲的角色變得更加豐富和複雜。
最終，彌林的經歷成為她重新審視自己統治方式的轉折點。這段故事不僅僅是解放奴隸，更是探討在動蕩的政治環境中，如何平衡理想與現實、專制與自由的永恆課題。
