A proposed amendment to Iraq ’s Personal Status Law would create separate family law tracks for Sunni and Shiite Iraqis .
The amendment would allow men to decide upon marriage whether to follow Sunni or Shiite family law.
Critics say it would deprive Shiite women of basic rights and even open the door to child marriage.
One of the most controversial effects of the amendment would be the legalization of “pleasure marriage”.
An Iraqi human rights activist says the amendment would be a step “ thousands of years backward” for Iraq .
Official figures show that around 250,000 Iraqi girls under 18 are married, she says.
Shiite cleric Sayed Jafar al-Mousawi defended the amendment, saying Islam is what governs us.
