NOTE: Iraq’s new anti-prostitution and homosexuality law defines prostitution as:

“Repeated adultery with more than one person whether paid or unpaid”.

That lose definition could make any pre-marital sex with more than one partner illegal…

#Iraq new law:
- 10 to 15 years in prison for homosexual relations
- 7+ years for 'promoting' homosexuality
- 1 to 3 years for men 'intentionally' acting like women (i.e. trans/cross-dressers)
- Up to 3 years for doctors involved in sex-changes
