Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani confirmed today, Wednesday, that the best solution is to give people the freedom to choose their personal status.
 
The media office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): that "The Speaker of the House of Representatives Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani received, today, Wednesday, the delegation of the 188 Alliance headed by Representative Sarwa Abdul Wahid."
 
"The alliance offered at the beginning of the meeting congratulations to Al-Mashhadani on the occasion of his assumption of the presidency of the House of Representatives, then the delegation presented their views and objections regarding the amendment of the Personal Status Law, which included legal proposals and others of a social nature."
For his part, Al-Mashhadani said: "The current law has objections from some segments of society, just as the 188 Alliance has objections to the amendments, and therefore there are differences of opinion about continuing to work on it or going to amend it."
He stressed that "the doors are open to study all opinions and proposals," and explained that "the best solution is to leave people free to choose their personal status between working according to the current law."
