Iraqi Mothers Seek Custody Law Review
The article addresses the claims of Iraqi mothers calling for a review of the provisions of the Personal Status Law, particularly concerning custody and children's rights after divorce. They are demanding the abolition of the retroactive application of the Ja'fari law on previous contracts and the preservation of Personal Status Law No. (188), with amendments to the age of child's choice set at nine years for girls and twelve years for boys, in order to give children the opportunity to express their wishes appropriately. They also emphasize the importance of activating the principle of the child's best interest and providing a safe and stable environment, along with legal guarantees for the custodian to protect the children. The mothers assert that the current modifications raise a debate about parental rights and the impact of legislation on previous property and legal disputes, calling for the child's best interests to be considered in all amendments.
