An Iraqi mother takes her own life after she was stripped off her daughter’s custody by force under the new Islamic law
Hi
I’m an Iraqi ex Muslim woman who shares the living atrocities that takes place in my country because of Islam
As you can see from the title, this is a real news that took place today in Diyala, Iraq
As of why this mother has lost her daughter’s custody, it’s due to the new Jaafari Personal Status Code that was passed on last year. In which the children’s custody gets transferred to the father once they reach the age of six, no matter what and even if the father was not a good parent.
The mother can also lose the custody of her child even if he was younger than 6 if she decides to marry another man, no matter what.
It’s all based on the Islamic Shiite sharia law
The Jaafari Personal Status Code is a set of family-law rules based on Jaafari (Twelver Shia) Islamic jurisprudence. It regulates matters such as marriage, divorce, maintenance, custody, guardianship, inheritance, and the rights and obligations of spouses.
If you guys have any more questions about this matter then I’m willing to answer it
