VOICED: Decades of war deprive Iraqi women of husbands

The video discusses the challenges faced by Iraqi women like Audrey in finding a husband due to gender imbalance and economic difficulties. Historically, Iraq had a balanced gender ratio, but wars and economic hardships have led to a decline in the male population and increased financial burdens, affecting marriage rates. Sociologists note rising depression among single women, and some suggest government intervention, though it's currently unaffordable.

How has the financial situation affected the ability of men to offer dowries?

What solutions are being proposed by some Iraqis to address the marriage crisis?
