Egyptian Parliament Considers Legalizing Dead-Wife Sex, Marriage to 14 Year-Old Girls

Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated 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*. [english.alarabiya.net]

* I am guessing that they'll compromise at three hours after death.

Disgusting!

Maddy,
You seem to be close-minded and prejudiced against the beliefs and customs of other religions, in this case Islam.

Once you go corpse, you never... go...

Once you go necro, you... um.... you never.....



Dang, I know there's a joke in there somewhere.

Does open up one of those sex in marriage jokes: "I couldn't tell the difference," the late woman's husband explained.

Maddy, please post verses from the Quran which says you CANNOT have sex with a dead woman. Religious texts tend to be "Thou Shall Not" lists.

Necrosex is a man's dream: No foreplay, no chance of pregnancy, and no post-sex cuddling - the trifecta!!! Well, he could cuddle if he wanted.

Mulva,
Not to mention you don't have to pony up for dinner and a movie.

That, too. It's all good! What's the downside?

The smell?

There should be no smell of decaying flesh during the first 6 hours.

Oh, well then....

Cold Ethyl

If I live 'til ninety seven you'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven

2012 WINNER
of
THE MOST DISGUSTING THREAD
OF THE YEAR AWARD

We'll have to see if it can hold onto the title for the rest of the year.

I'm fairly confident it can.

What a song, Indy! Who sang this?

Maddie

It gives this Foreigner song new meaning, doesn't it?

You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know

I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind

You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay

(Cold, as, ice)
You know that you are
(Cold, cold) (as, as) (ice)
As cold as ice to me
(Cold, cold, cold) (as, as, as) (ice)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're as cold as ice)
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
Oh, yes I know
(Cold as icccce)
(You're as cold as icccce)
You're as cold as ice
(Cold as icccce)
Cold as ice I know
(You're as cold as icccce)
Oh, yes I know

Classic Alice Cooper from his best album - Welcome to My Nightmare. When the album came out, Alice did a television show with theatrical versions of all the songs. This was on ABC - back before cable or anything else - regular broadcast television. I'm sure the censors must have had no idea what the song was about or surely they would have cut it...

Apparently it also allows the wife to do the same thing....um..right....

Pondy,
The joke probably has something to do with "enjoying a cold one" on a hot afternoon.


Mac

I love the dead
Before they're cold
Their bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see
(nothing)

--Alice Cooper

Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf

- Alice Cooper

So, can we call Egyptians the new Necromongers?

Actually, this proposed "law" is just the brainchild of some right wing islamiphobic hack.

Turns out it's total bullsh*t.

I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I said dead than wet my bed

Oh, i'd rather be gone--than carry on
I'd rather go away--than feel this way

Oh, i'd rather be there--where you haven't got a care
And you're better off dead--though it doesn't seem fair

Oh, i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed

(ladies)
I'd rather keep my health--and dress myself
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf

(men)
I'll tie my tie 'till the day i die
But if i have to be fed then i'd rather be dead

And when he takes my hand on the very last day
I will understand because it's better that way

Oh! it's nice to be alive--when the dream comes true
You'll be better off dead--it could happen to you

Oh! i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed


---Harry Nilsson

If you don't know Nilsson, he's kind of an oddball musician who would fit in just as easily with the Beatles as Monty Python. Here's a great video of him recording this song (I just discovered it, btw - my first viewing).

Cascade,
Thanks for setting the record straight. But in the article that debunked the story (which spread across the Internet like wildfire) starts out thus:

Quote

Today, Egypt's state-owned Al Ahram newspaper published an opinion piece by Amr Abdul Samea, a past stalwart supporter of the deposed Hosni Mubarak, that contained a bombshell: Egypt's parliament is considering passing a law that would allow husbands to have sex with their wives after death.

It's pretty amazing to me that any newspaper (muchless a state-owned) would take the idea seriously enough to publish it as a legitimate opinion piece.

Well, it was an opinion piece by a staunch supporter of the previous regieme and I would suspect that many on the paper's staff and admin are supporters as well so it's not surprising that they would publish something that casts the new government in a poor light. Egypt is still going through a transition and many are vying for power or working against the military rule now in power.
