Afghanistan: Woman's Rights 2009. 1Of 3

An Afghan bill permitting a husband to starve his wife if she refuses to have sex has become law,
a wife must also get her husband's permission to work. Fathers and grandfathers have also been awarded exclusive custody of the children.

The law also allows a rapist to avoid prosecution by paying 'blood money' to a girl who was injured when he raped her

Hamid Karzai has sold out Afghan women for the sake of conservative Shia islam support ahead of the presidential election.

Medieval regime? Barbaristic and uncivilized is more like it! Karzai, the Taliban, and all backward, pederastic, misogynistic Muslim men must DIE! (That would be most of them!)

60% of women are married at the age of 9 or 10, exactly the age at which Mohammed consummated the marriage with his youngest bride, Aisha. He married her when she was six years old. I'm sick and tired of hearing that has nothing to do with islam ...

I hope there will be a day when all women in the middle east will fight for their human rights. Abuse of any kind needs to have severe punishment for those that abuse girls and women. And, even though women have rights in the USA they are still being abused...it's not OK.

MrNaweed1. good God man, I did know that Aussies were prone to be homosexual, I wasn't aware of their obsession with stupidity. Your post has the aire of Alice in Wonderland there boy, these people make a living selling opium and molesting women and children, I guess that must appeal to your stupid ass huh?

this types of stories are even in "west" or civilized country too. I was watching on TV just tonight that a predator was having sex with his sister and had heard another one millions similar stories since I live in these so called civilized country. One thing make me mad that all these big powers who brought poverty and destruction in Afghanistan shamelessly, their media making stories

blaming Talibaan and Alqaida for their justification to invade Afghanistan.
