The Effects of Civil Liability for Missing An Opportunity for Moral Gain: Missing An Opportunity for Marriage as An Example

The Iraqi civil legislator, unlike some other legislators, has not explicitly addressed liability for the loss of a chance to

marry, leaving it subject to the general rules of civil liability. This legislative silence has engendered numerous legal complications.

The absence of specific statutory provisions often renders it impossible for an individual who has lost a marriage opportunity to

obtain compensation that mitigates or redresses the sustained harm. Furthermore, aggrieved individuals may suffer damages resulting

from such a loss without knowing the legal mechanisms required to hold the responsible party liable.
