| description | Societal changes have brought shifts in values and morals, giving rise to behaviors conflicting with traditional human values, especially in morally committed societies like Islamic ones. These shifts have led to organized campaigns advocating for sexual freedom, including the right to choose one's sexual orientation and engage in unrestricted relationships. While the concept of non-legalized relationships is not new, recent legalization and promotion of homosexuality in Western countries have raised concerns about societal corruption. This has led to a perceived threat to societal morals and values, prompting the need for new laws to address these issues. To understand Iraq's stance on sexual freedom, an examination of penal texts regulating sexual activities is necessary. |
