Afghanistan Sex Diet--For Women only

I feel like this should be posted in one of the crime sections.

Women's rights activists alleged Monday that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has used a constitutional loophole to enact a law that allows minority Shia Muslim husbands to refuse food and money to their wives if they deny them sex.

The activists suspect Karzai took the step to appease conservative Shia clergy ahead of Thursday's presidential election. Nearly 20 per cent of Afghans are Shia and could become an influential voting block as Karzai runs for a new five-year term.

The legislation, which governs many aspects of family life for Afghanistan's Shia, has been sparking controversy since Karzai signed an earlier version in March. Critics said the original legislation essentially legalized marital rape and Karzai quickly suspended enforcement after governments around the world condemned it as oppressive and a return to Taliban-era repression of women.

But the revised version, made public in July, riled activists all over again because many restrictive articles remained, including one that appears to give a husband the right to starve his wife if she refuses to have sex with him.

Seriously tho, that is fucked up. I wonder how the reconcile that with Islam? Allah wants you to have babies so it is your duty? Duty to your husband and his needs? Yeah, I don't think this is too cool at all.

Afghan schoolgirls poisoned in anti-education attack

KUNDUZ, Afghanistan | Tue Apr 17, 2012 8:44am EDT
(Reuters) - About 150 Afghan schoolgirls were poisoned on Tuesday after drinking contaminated water at a high school in the country's north, officials said, blaming it on conservative radicals opposed to female education.

Since the 2001 toppling of the Taliban, which banned education for women and girls, females have returned to schools, especially in Kabul
