Big news for Somali women !!! New age of consent law

[Devilsadvocate]

Somalia has banned marriage under the age of 18. I’m so happy for women back home because there is finally legal protection. To those pedophiles and people from the west who marry underage girls your time is coming.

You can't seem to be happy about any progress; it's always just constant complaining.

When you consider our political and security situation over the last 35 years, that shouldn't surprise you. Alhamdulillah we're finally in a stable and safe enough position to pass laws that protect the people.

you’d be surprised to know how late some countries are with passing this kind of legislation, atleast we have an excuse.

Colombia did it just last year:

Colombia outlaws child marriage after 17-year campaign

Country closes 137-year legal loophole, becoming one of 12 in Latin America and the Caribbean to entirely ban marriage for minors

www.theguardian.com

Zambia did it dec 2023:

Where will you apply this wher Al-Shabaab controls or in jubaland or SL and PL The Somali government in xamar and parliament cannot change anything.
