So this amendment to the personal issues law is very important to be discussed and understood This post will be containing discussion of child sexual abuse though I will leave it to the 10th point so you could read the other things that this law will affectively do without having to read it if you are triggered by it, I do to a small extent respect this community so I tried as much as possible not to use the most vulgar language which is my mainstream.

1. This law is basically changing the personal status law of 1959 in a complete way that we will discuss here
2. First thing that this law does is that it takes the authority of dealing with personal issues from the courts and give it to the clergy killing the secular state,
3. This law requires the main religious institutions to get a paper done where each one of the religious sects will have their own personal issues law increasing the Divide and sectarianism within the society
4. This law effectively kills equal inheritance for men and women so in the Sunni sect a woman will take half of what a men takes, and in the Shia sect a woman cannot inherent land
5. According to the old law custody would be given to the person who is more likely to give better care of the child, this amendment would make it that a child would be with his mother for the first two years and spent the rest with his father no matter the circumstances
6. In the old law a man should give his wife spousal support even after divorce if the wife does not work or incapable of having a job do to a disability or social issues, this amendment makes it so that the wife cannot get spousal support unless she sleeps with her husband even after divorce 7 this amendment effectively kills any type of civil marriage meaning that if you want to get married outside of religion you need to go to Cyprus
7. This amendment will legalize temporary marriages, which basically means that it's legal prostitution but the women will come out of it as a divorcee which is socially unacceptable
8. This amendment was a proposed by the Shia plurality which means that they cannot pass it on their own so they are working with the Sunni minority on getting an amnesty law passed which will lead to at least a thousand confirmed Isis members to be freed from prison
9. And now let's talk about the child sexual abuse of it all, first of all in Islam there is no age of consent in marriage, that was because the old days you marry your daughter for Political alliances, but if you had an age of consent that would effectively mean that you should hold your alliance, the effects of this passing today means that you can go to the court or to a clergyman and Mary a child and nobody could tell you anything, a child which does not have a specific age that could mean a two-year-old or 2-day or could get married in this law and they will say but you cannot penetrate that child because they are a child you can only penetrate them when they are old enough as in nine year old, which Falls flat because of two reasons the first of which is that nine-year-old is still a child and the second one is that you could still sexually enjoy the two-year-old that you have married without penetration, another really important to issue that it's gives a child the ability to consent which means a seven-year-old girl could consent to a marriage without her parents even known that, another thing is that we have discussed in this post before the issue of temporary marriage so combine it with this issue and I don't need to explain.

This law is going to effectively ensure the total dismantlement of the last threads that this society hangs on.
