Iraq 'to pass law' allowing girls as young as nine to marry

Iraq is set to change its laws to allow men to marry girls as young as nine and strip women of rights around divorce, child custody and inheritance.
The country’s ruling conservative Shia Muslim parties are set to vote through amendments to the Law 188 - which was passed by a more progressive government in 1959.
