SOBRE A LEI E QUAISQUER EXCEÇÕES
The Personal Status law states that the legal age of marriage is 18, or 15 with judicial consent. However, the Constitution of Iraq allows religious communities to follow their own laws on marriage. In 2025, attempts were made to amend the Personal Status Law, which would allow clerics to rule in family matters, including marriage, based on their interpretation of Islamic law. For Shi'a communities, this could mean that girls can be legally married from the age of 9. Although the amendment was deemed to have passed, no clear vote count was made and the amendment has not yet passed into law.
