Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen step out in coordinated black looks for New York stroll Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare joint appearance in New York City, stepping out together for a relaxed afternoon in matching, understated fashion. The 39-year-old twins were seen walking through Midtown Manhattan on April 30, dressed in coordinated black trench coats paired with wide-leg denim. They completed the look with sunglasses, scarves, and structured alligator handbags from their luxury label, The Row, before stopping for lunch during their outing. Long before becoming fashion insiders, the sisters built global recognition as child actors through projects like Full House, It Takes Two, and New York Minute. Over time, they stepped away from Hollywood and fully transitioned into fashion, officially launching The Row in 2005.

IRAQ IS PREPARING TO AMEND ITS MARRIAGE LAW, ALLOWING MEN TO MARRY GIRLS AS YOUNG AS NINE YEARS. (PHOTO).


 Iraq is preparing to amend its marriage law, allowing men to marry girls as young as nine, sparking significant controversy. The proposed changes to the Personal Status Law would grant religious authorities the right to decide the age of marriage for girls. If enacted, the amendment would bring the legal marriage age down from 18 to as young as nine for girls, according to the interpretations of some religious scholars.


The amendment, supported by some conservative lawmakers, is being criticized by human rights activists and civil society groups. Opponents argue that such a law violates the rights of young girls, exposing them to risks related to early marriage, education deprivation, and health complications. Critics also worry it could lead to increased domestic violence, as young girls may lack the maturity needed to handle the responsibilities of marriage.


Women’s rights groups in Iraq and around the world have condemned the proposal, calling it a setback for children’s rights. International organizations, including UNICEF, have raised concerns, stressing that such laws contradict global child protection standards. The current law in Iraq, established in 1959, sets the minimum marriage age at 18 but allows exceptions for girls aged 15 with parental and judicial consent.


The controversial amendment has sparked protests and debates across the country, with calls for the Iraqi government to reject the proposal and maintain its commitment to children’s welfare and rights. Activists argue that amending the law in this manner would represent a major step backward for Iraq, diminishing efforts to empower young girls and uphold their rights to education and protection.
