Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death.
The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.
It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment.

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'.

The subject of a husband having sex with his dead wife arose in May 2011 when Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari said marriage remains valid even after death.
He also said that women have the right to have sex with her dead husband, alarabiya.net reported.
It seems the topic, which has sparked outrage, has now been picked up on by Egypt's politicians.

TV anchor Jaber al-Qarmouty slammed the notion of letting a husband have sex with his wife after her death under the so-called 'Farewell Intercourse' draft law.
He said: 'This is very serious. Could the panel that will draft the Egyptian constitution possibly discuss such issues? Did Abdul Samea see by his own eyes the text of the message sent by Talawi to Katatni?
'This is unbelievable. It is a catastrophe to give the husband such a right! Has the Islamic trend reached that far? Is there really a draft law in this regard? Are there people thinking in this manner?'

He also said that women have the right to have sex with her dead husband" Well, to be fair it looks like they're finally getting their heads around the idea of equal rights for women......

Oh what a surprise!! The so called Arab Spring results in fundamentalist Islam becoming law in Egypt. Putting the country back to the 6th Century.
We all need to pray for the Copt Christians-there are 10 million of them and they will now be viciously persecuted.
I believe all these uprisings in the Middle East are orchestrated by the Taliban and why on earth the West is supporting them is a mystery??

I worked in Egypt for three years and saw first hand what was happening to the coptic christians.
They were only allowed at that time to live in the city of the dead and as for work they came out at night to collect the rubbish of Cairo from which they made a living.
If the muslims were in charge of our country we would be herded into some sort of ghetto and made to clear up their rubbish or killed, simples.

Egypt cannot support itself with food or work, like many other countries in the middle east, so what happens when they start to starve? do they eat each other or move to where the food is----------- with the weapons they have it would not be long before they are living here in YOUR house.
I cannot understand why the British government is so against the training of our youth in the use of guns and warfare, we will need it soon enough.
