Legalized Necrophilia coming to Egypt?

[Freelancer]

Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated parliament not to approve two controversial laws on the minimum age of marriage and allowing a husband to have sex with his dead wife within six hours of her death according to a report in an Egyptian newspaper.

The appeal came in a message sent by Dr. Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker, Dr. Saad al-Katatni, addressing the woes of Egyptian women, especially after the popular uprising that toppled president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.

She was referring to two laws: one that would legalize the marriage of girls starting from the age of 14 and the other that permits a husband to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her death.

See the thread "....and then Egypt just got plain weird!" in the Know Egypt section!

Trust the muck-spreaders of the Mail to get in on the act. They've managed to distort even the insubstantial first report even further. But they do know their readers...

It just shows how bad journalism has gotten these days. Even a cursory reading of the article will show that it was a 'satirical' piece, but the Western media took it all too seriously.
