Women In The Face Of Outrageous Laws by minto(m): 5:10pm On Apr 03, 2009
Inspite of all advocacy in support of equal basic human right, women are still at the mercy of laws grossly offensive to the sense of right. They are most often ill-considered whenever these laws are being promulgated or so I think. I once asked myself; what exonerates the men while women are being punished for sexual misconduct under certain religious law? Yet we all know it takes two to tango. Now we have more,

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has just signed a law that forces women to obey their husbands' sexual demands, keeps women from leaving the house -- even for work or school -- without a husband's permission, automatically grants child custody rights to fathers and grandfathers before mothers, and favors men in inheritance disputes and other legal matters. In short, the law again consigns Afghan women to lives of brutal repression

With these harsh and barbaric laws, what hope do we have in fundamental woman human right and how on earth can a woman be and perform as a wife with this enslaving conditions?

You expect Nigerians to be here? tongue. They ain't coming post something about a pastor buying a jet of N4b or how some stupid news said it's a lie and see them flocking here.

Leave those people in the desert alone abeg. If the people want freedom, they should overthrow their terrorist governments. I heard of the law and I wasn't surprised.
