The return of Persia (2026 - ♾️)






Wait, what? I didn’t have the German LGBTQ community voting for the AfD on my bingo card. What am I missing here?

**Minimum legal marriage ages (as of 2026):** - **Pakistan**: 18 for both (recent 2025-2026 laws in ICT, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan raised it from 16 for girls; other provinces vary but trend upward). - **Afghanistan**: No fixed minimum (tied to puberty under Taliban Sharia interpretations; prior civil law of 16 for girls largely superseded). - **Iran**: 13 (girls), 15 (boys); younger possible with court/parental approval. - **Oman**: 18 (guardian can approve minors with no strict minimum). - **Saudi Arabia**: 18 (court exceptions for post-puberty minors if deemed beneficial; 2019+ reforms tightened this). - **Yemen**: No legal minimum (puberty/consummation rules apply; past reform attempts stalled by conflict). **Sharia**: No universal fixed age—classically tied to puberty/maturity (historical precedents as young as 9 in some interpretations); modern applications vary by country/jurisdiction. Laws above reflect national codes influenced by it, with Pakistan's updates being the most recent major reforms.
