Law Will Let Afghan Husbands Starve Wives Who Withhold Sex
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/07/10-4

An Afghan law which legalised rape has been sent back to parliament with a clause letting husbands starve their wives if they refuse to have sex.

President Hamid Karzai ordered a review of the legislation after The Independent revealed that it negated the need for consent within marriage.

President Barack Obama described it as "abhorrent", Gordon Brown said Britain would "not tolerate" it, and other Nato countries threatened to withdraw their troops unless the legislation was drastically re-written.

The amendments were passed to the cabinet this week and signed by Mr Karzai on Wednesday, Human Rights Watch said last night.

The women's rights activist Wazhma Frough, who was involved in the review, said that conservative religious leaders had pressured the Justice Ministry to keep many of the most controversial clauses.

"Violence against women is already endemic," said Razia Jan, who is building a women's community centre in Afghanistan's Shia heartland, Bamiyan. "Men pay thousands of dollars for young girls and they are treated like slaves. Women here are already so vulnerable."

Critics claim that Mr Karzai signed the law to appease Shia leaders, ahead of the presidential polls on 20 August.
---------------------------
the US CAN NOT leave Afghanistan until the women have legal protection from the insane religious men.
this is 2009 not the dark ages when men could do to women whatever they wanted.
we must stand with and demand legal protection for women and prosecution of law breakers.
Karzai is a coward, afraid of the ignorant, insane religious men.

1. This makes me SO angry I don't even have words for it.
How the **** is it considered ok, LEGAL, even, to starve a woman because she does not want to have sex?!

It is as fundamental to muslims as the Ten Commandments are to civilized people.

4. This is ****ing BARBARIC.
Only Barbarians would think they have a right to commit marital rape. Sick, evil bastards.
And who are a jerwads un-recommending this thread?

The treatment of women as livestock is a basic tenet of the barbaric islam "faith".
Don't expect the pro-Taliban, pro-terrorist democrat party to ever admit that.

Its simpe, they will not blame this on Islam. They never do.

They will blame all men. They will blame society. They will blame Bush and America. They will not blame Islam.

DUmmies are too morally bankrupt to admit this is a problem.

DUmmies are too morally bankrupt to admit this is a problem.

It was weird today, in the Letters to the Editor of the Omaha World-Herald.

A locally prominent Islamacist wrote complaining that Nebraskans don't know much about his religion.

In fact, he was pretty exasperated about it.

He pointed out that the Koran makes an abomination of gay "marriage;" that it's harshly condemned.

That of course had something to do with Iowa's wacko new marriage laws, and a rumor that two women had been married using the Koran.

This guy was really hot about it.

When their barbaric "prophet" wrote the koran, he devoted a good portion of it to the discipline, use, ownership, and transfer of ownership of women and girls. Not surprising from a self-admitted pedophile.

GWB knew what he was talking about when he called it the "Religion of Piece".
