Egyptian Parliament Considers Legalizing Dead-Wife Sex, Marriage to 14 Year-Old GirlsPosted by Anonymous User
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.

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... [www.youtube.com]
Actually, this proposed "law" is just the brainchild of some right wing islamiphobic hack.
Turns out it's total bullsh*t. [www.csmonitor.com] [www.salon.com]

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: 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.
