Afghan Women: Keep 'Em Indoors, Hold 'Em Down and...
What a country! And Barfy thinks we can TALK to these neaderthals?
New Afghanistan law allows men to demand sex from wife every 4 days
by Helen Kennedy
A new Afghan law saying Shiite men can demand sex from their wives every four days and keep them indoors indefinitely is causing an uproar.
Hillary Clinton's State Department is trying to force a repeal of a law more restrictive than even the old Taliban regime.
"We're very concerned about these reports with regard to the legislation," said State Department spokesman Robert Wood.
The passage of what some call "legalized rape" means American women have died fighting in Afghanistan to give men there the right to subjugate women.
Clinton and Afghan President Hamid Karzai met privately Tuesday at The Hague, but Wood could not say if she pressed him to reverse the law he just signed.
"She may have. I don't know," Wood said. "President Karzai is certainly well-aware of our views with regard to this legislation."
The law - which has not yet been published but was leaked by a UN agency - rules that a Shiite woman must seek her husband's permission to go outside.
"Obedience, readiness for intercourse and not leaving the house without the permission of the husband are the duties of the wife," states the law.
"As long as the husband is not traveling, he has the right to have sexual intercourse with his wife every fourth night," it says.
In a divorce, a father always gets custody of any children, according to the law.
The law also attempts to protect Shiite women from sexual neglect, mandating that men must take their wives to bed "at least once every four months."
The law was rushed through the parliament in February. Critics said a weakened Karzai was trying to curry favor with Shiite hard-liners before the upcoming elections.
