<p>Another example of the difficulties in using talks, discussions, and civil means in dealing with this region. When a country can justify making rape and the control of its women legal by official laws (in addition to their cultural and religious beliefs), how can anyone believe that sit down discussions and diplomacy with this region will change anything?</p>
<p>I strongly object to sensationalist headlines or topic titles that are not at all supported by the story that is referenced. Nobody has even read the law.</p>
<p>Here is a link to another article regarding the same “secret law.” They refused to allow the UN to read the law. Karzai wants to make the Shia happy before the election.</p>
<p>Thank you for wasting another 5 minutes of my time. The headline says something about legalizing rape in marriage, but the article doesn’t say one word about the law giving men the right to force their wives into sex against their will.
Where is anything about rape? Maybe the law makes it legal for a man to chop off his wife’s arm and eat it for lunch, but don’t give me a headline that says rape followed by an article that says a woman must receive permission from her husband to go to the doctor… please. </p>
<p>And I was wondering, are women any better off in Saudi Arabia ?</p>
