This is definitely sad!
In Iraq, a new law will permit girls as young as 8 years old to be
married.
This would subject wives to their
husband's sexual whims. Although the said law doesn't mention a specific age,
it says once the girls begin to reach puberty.
An Iraqi human rights activist said, "the law represents a crime
against humanity and childhood. Married underage girls will be subjected to
physical and psychological suffering".
