Iraq Single and Alone
In this photo taken Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2010, Iraqi women shop at a market in Baghdad, Iraq. Being female, single and 30-plus is not uncommon in Iraq, which lost hundreds of thousands of its young men in nearly 30 years of wars. The problem has been worsened by the bloody turmoil in Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and nearly 13 years of U.N. sanctions that left generations of Iraqis too consumed by economic hardships to consider marriage.
