UN official: 1959 personal status law’s minimum marriage age remains 18, with limited exceptions Gulam Isaac Sai said the UN engaged on a parliamentary amendment to the 1959 personal status law to ensure minimum age protections remain; he said the law retains 18 as the baseline age with exceptional cases allowing 15 on specified grounds, and that sect-specific codes can be developed with opt-in provisions.

Iraq's controversial marriage law still upholds 18 as the minimum age, with limited exceptions—what does this mean for the future of personal status codes?

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration Policy Affecting Immigrants' Access to Community Services On September 11, 2025, a U.S. District Court judge in Rhode Island issued an order halting the Trump administration's reinterpretation of a Clinton-era federal policy that would reclassify some community-level programs as federal public benefits, thereby restricting access for people without legal status. The judge criticized the policy rollout as rushed and noted it would worsen impacts on those cut off from community services and those verifying eligibility. This ruling affects 20 states and the District of Columbia, where Democratic attorneys general had sued the administration.

Big win in RI courts today. A federal judge blocked a Trump admin policy that’d cut immigrants off from community services. Rushed rollout, harsh impacts. Shouldn’t we keep local support accessible, no red tape? #RhodeIsland #CommunityRights
