A controversial new law, dubbed "Farewell Intercourse," could possibly come into effect in Egypt which states that husbands will be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives up to six hours after their death.
According to The Daily Mail, the "Farewell Intercourse" law is just one of many new laws being introduced to Egyptians by the Islamist-dominated parliament. Other laws include the legal marriage age lowered to 14-years-old and women's rights to education and employment abolished.

Quote:
Egypt's National Council for Women is campaigning against the changes, saying that 'marginalising and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country's human development'.
Dr Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, wrote to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker Dr Saad al-Katatni addressing her concerns.
Egyptian journalist Amro Abdul Samea reported in the al-Ahram newspaper that Talawi complained about the legislations which are being introduced under 'alleged religious interpretations'.

It is disgusting... hard not to generalise about a generally primitive and barbaric culture.

Also hard to NOT make a joke about the need for some sort of law along those lines to cover sex with the stereotypical British Wife..... but I won't go there :24
