Let’s Hear It for the Arab Spring
27th April 2012
Egyptian husbands could soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death, local media is claiming.
The controversial new law is claimed to be part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.
It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women’s rights of getting education and employment.
Yeah, I guess that’s worth overthrowing your government. In fact, an Arab screwing a corpse sounds like a great metaphor for the Dar al-Isam throughout history.
