Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated Egyptian Parliament not to approve two controversial laws on the minimum age of marriage and allowing a husband to have sex with his dead wife within six hours of her death according to a report in an Egyptian newspaper.

The appeal came in a message sent by Dr. Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker, Dr. Saad al-Katatni, addressing the woes of Egyptian women, especially after the popular uprising that toppled president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.

She was referring to two laws: one that would legalize the marriage of girls starting from the age of 14 and the other that permits a husband to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her death.

If that's cool with Islam, that says something interesting.

Ok, beyond wrong, but kudos to the author of the second article for making me laugh aloud:

"The totally nutty "post-death crysex" law didn't spring from nothing; in fact, last year a Muslim cleric reasoned that since marriage is a bond that lasts beyond death, both men and women are entirely within their rights to have sex with their dead spouse's bodies. Nothing more erotic than a little rigor mortis of the peen, right, ladies?"

Wasn't there some ancient Egyptian goddess that impregnated herself with her dead husband's sperm several thousand years ago????

Sounds like someone in Egypt took the Tom Petty video for "Mary Jane's Last Dance" a little too seriously...

But what if the wife would have preferred to have her final sex with her secret lover instead of her husband? It might be good idea for the husband to arrange for all his close male friends to join him, one at a time, of course.
