Afghanistan: Woman's Rights 2009. 2 Of 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.

Get beheaded for having a Playboy, but it's okay to molest little girls.

@SigalaSigala It's only problems in Afghanistan, not islam. According to afghanistan, god doesn't want you to shave your beard.. WTF.

It is nice that you believe this.

It is too bad that most of the Islamic authorities in the Middle East disagree with you.

I don't get it: when in South Africa black people were living under an Apartheid regime, people all over the world boycotted this country. But when in Afghanistan women are treated worse than animals most people ignore this. Negotiating with so-called "moderate" must have the same effect for women's life like negotiating with "moderate Nazis" about Jew's rights.

This does not represent islam. Islam is a peaceful religion. Allah swt values women, and anyone who treats them bad will be punished... This is all clutue.. don;t mix cultue with religion

Ghazanfar is a shill for the disgusting "men" (cowards, brutes, misogynists, pederasts) of the Muslim "faith." She's a willing prostitute of the worst kind. Someone should shoot her in the head, along with Karzai.

Maryam for Afghani president!!!!
