'Farewell Intercourse' law allowing sex with dead wives sparks fury in Egypt Egypts Islamist-dominated parliament is set to introduce a law allowing husbands to have sex with their dead wives up to six hours after death. Critics fear it highlights a trend of increasingly anti-female legislation since the Arab Spring. The farewell Intercourse bill was inspired by a Fatwa issued by a Moroccan cleric last year. Zamzami Abdul Bar said that since the two would meet in Heaven again anyway, death shouldnt get in the way of one last post-mortem marital romp. Critics have slammed the law as catastrophic. Prominent journalist and TV host Jaber al-Qarmouty used his program on Tuesday to lash out at the proposed law. This is unbelievable. It is a catastrophe to give the husband such a right! Has the Islamic trend reached that far? Is there really a draft law in this regard? Are there people thinking in this manner, he lamented on air. Egypts National Council for Women (NCW) also called on Parliament not to adopt this and other measures which they believe increasingly seek to roll back womens rights. The NTC further charges that "marginalizing and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country's human development. Along with the rather grim farewell Intercourse draft law, parliament is also set to approve legislation that would allow girls as young as 14 to get married. Lawmakers are also seeking to eliminate a reform implemented over a decade ago that allows women to end unhappy or abusive marriages without interference from their spouses. NCW head Dr. Mervat al-Talawi sent a message to the Peoples Assembly speaker outlining the plight of women in post-revolutionary Egypt. Apart from the controversial marriage reforms, she also reportedly appealed to parliament not to legislate away a womans right to education and employment under the guise of religion, Al Arabiya reports. But with the Muslim Brotherhood securing the biggest bloc in parliament and posed to take the presidency in next months elections, the rights women enjoyed during the Mubarak era may soon be a thing of the past. http://rt.com/news/egypt-sex-dead-wife-054/ You have got to be kidding me! Wait until Obama hears about this. He will get the Muslim Brotherhood on the line and tell them to act like a civilized people.........or not. _
all the Progressive feminists must be SOOO proud of what their "Arab Spring" has wrought....good thing that ol Mubarrack is gone with his draconian laws...
what sick kind of SOB's they got over there. Anyone know if that is a common muslim practice? never mind apparently it is http://www.moroccoboard.com/viewpoi...reak-show-necrophilia-is-now-halal-in-morocco
OH. MY. GAWD..... so now they want necrophilia to be part of their culture..... Not even the 4-legged primates treat their dead mates like that.... soulless savages...
I understand that the Christian right is pushing for a similar law here in the States. They want theirs to include a "no abortion" clause.
That is truly bizarre. I can understand the extreme attachment one develops towards their partner, but to attempt to legislate the right to have intercourse with a dead body... wow...
