I only read about this bizarre news today and decided to share with y'all...continue reading if you want-
Latest report from Egypt reveals that Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to
part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.
It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14yrs
Egypt’s National Council for Women is reportedly campaigning against the changes, saying that ‘marginalising and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country’s human development’.
The subject of a husband having sex with his dead wife arose in May 2011 when
He also said that women have the right to have sex with her dead husband.
It seems the topic, which has sparked outrage, has now been picked up on by Egypt’s politicians.
TV anchor Jaber al-Qarmouty slammed the notion of letting a husband have sex with his wife after her death under the so-called ‘Farewell Intercourse’ draft law.
He said: ‘This is very serious. Could the panel that will draft the Egyptian constitution possibly discuss such issues? Did Abdul Samea see by his own eyes the text of the message sent by Talawi to Katatni?
‘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?’
Although reported in local media, there are some suggestions from within Egypt that the plans do not exist and were merely seeded by journalists loyal to ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
