that is outragious! Designed to put women back down and back 'under control', if you read the changes that have happened since the end of the taliban, the freedoms women have begun to enjoy, this is intended to remove that and get men back firmly as master before any pesky equality begins to be expected.

If these laws are not immediately repealed then I think we should bring our troops home ASAP.

I see no point in our troops getting killed and maimed to protect a regime like this. They sound every bit as bad as the Taleban. Misogynist monsters.

what an utter load of bollox.

Summary of some of the new 'laws' in case people want it in brief:

One of the most controversial articles stipulates that the wife ?is bound to preen for her husband as and when he desires?.

Later it explicitly sanctions marital rape. ?As long as the husband is not travelling, he has the right to have sexual intercourse with his wife every fourth night,?

Article 132 says. ?Unless the wife is ill or has any kind of illness that intercourse could aggravate, the wife is bound to give a positive response to the sexual desires of her husband.?

Article 133 reintroduces the Taleban restrictions on women?s movements outside their homes, stating: ?A wife cannot leave the house without the permission of the husband? unless in a medical or other emergency.

Article 27 endorses child marriage with girls legally able to marry once they begin to menstruate.
