Ok so a recent bill in Afghanistan that allows husbands to starve their wife's if they refuse to have sex, has now been made law.

Here is the story link and a quick sum up of the law.

It allows a man to withhold food from his wife if she refuses his sexual demands; a woman must get her husband's permission to work; and fathers and grandfathers are given exclusive custody of children.

What do you think of this, I know its a very heavily religion based country but this really strips the woman of more of there human rights, it is essentially rape.

I actually kinda agree on Sajedene's point of view. If we have the power to stop that, we should definitely use it. However, the way things are going right now, I don't think merely invading would solve the problem, we should conquer it! =p

Can somebody please tell me the justifiability of this law? Why would they bother doing this? This is only going to complicate global affairs further.

I will repeat... presence without action. I am asking for mobilization not of "hey we're here... continue on with your human rights violations while we sit here and watch."

Yeah... kinda like how we did when Hitler butchered people... or when Japan raped and pilaged all the countries around them... THEN when America chooses not to "stick its nose in" so you say, in countries such as Sudan and Rwanda, when clear as day genocide is happening... other countries (usually the countries being raped) gets mad at US for not "sticking our nose in".

The difficulty with trying to change this kind of thing is that it will possibly come down to something written in the Qur' an and that they will hold that as there justification.

If women are allowed to get raped then I doubt they would have any voice over who gets voted/chosen. Seems like its the men who vote and if it doesn't effect them in any negative way then they probably wouldn't care. Chances are its the women that will be cooking so I'm sure they can slip something into their mouth.
