I think this is crazy! I have never heard of anything like this before. In the article it states that an Afghan man can have sex with his wife even if she does not want to and it is not considered rape. The new law states that a man can have sex with his wife every 4th day. The law makers that wrote the law state that this is an advancement for women because it is making sure that the men stay faithful to their wives. It does state that if a women is sick than it is against the law.
The only reason the Afghan President Hamid Karzai passed this law is to reinsure reelection. I don’t think that a very good PR moves on his point. Critics from all over still think it is rape. The definition of rape is the crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse. I consider it to be rape. I think it should be a consensual act in my words. I think this could promote a growth in population as well.
The Afghan women have come so far in the last 7 years. They used to be not able to do anything, now they are going to school and own businesses. They did pass a law that women’s faces cannot be seen they have to have them all covered up and have to be accompanied by a member of their family.
I hope there is a way that they can reverse this law and help protect the women’s right there. I think the better thing is to not re-elect President Hamid Karzai and get someone that opposes some of his crazy stunts that he pulls just to be reelected as president.
