Outrage as French judge annuls Muslim marriage over bride's virginity lie - Times Online

Quote:
The annulment of a young Muslim couple’s marriage because the bride was not a virgin has caused anger in France, prompting President Sarkozy’s party to call for a change in the law.

The decision by a court in Lille was condemned by the Government, media, feminists and civil rights organisations after it was reported in a legal journal on Thursday. Patrick Devedjian, leader of the ruling Union for a Popular Movement, said it was unacceptable that the law could be used for religious reasons to repudiate a bride. It must be modified “to put an end to this extremely disturbing situation”, he said.


Religious intolerance in a socialist state.

The law is transforming into something that requires more and more contracts be made before anything is done... a woman can cheat, have someone else's baby, lie, and deceive and it is "okay" for her to do so because she is the "poor vulnerable woman"... a stereotype that can still be found today as well as in our laws....

On the other hand, doesn't this contradict the other right-wing "the Europeans are always capitulating to the crazy Muslim demands" argument?

Neoconservatives = neocommunists.

Socialism, military-industrial complex, police state.

Neocons are trying to build a new Soviet Union.
