ISLAMABAD: A woman Member of National Assembly (MNA) in Pakistan has said that married women in her country should not be treated like buffaloes when it comes to men forcing sex on them, and be given due respect.
Kashmala Tariq, who is also a member of the NAs Select Committee on Womens Protection Bill, proposed that a husband having sex with his wife without her consent should be tried under rape charges.
Men should not have sex with their wives against their will, the Daily Times quoted her as saying.
According to her, other members of the committee, including Mehnaz Rafi, Zahid Hamid and Wasim Sajjad, had endorsed her viewpoint.
However, Rashmalas proposal received a jolt when federal Minister of State for Religious Affairs, Dr Aamir Liaqat Hussain opposed her idea saying that it was un-Islamic to stop husbands from having sex with their wives even if they were doing so without their consent.
Just one more reason why this so called religion is screwed up!
Wow I had guessed Buffalo rape was rampant in Pakistan but I guess now we know for certain.
Rape doesn't phase them and yet a cartoon will send them into a tizzy. Sick people.
Western women are going to have a rude awkening when the Islamofascists move in and take over and those "liberated women" find themselves living under sharia law.
I suspect this poor woman is not going to be on this earth much longer.
Dead woman walking?
Chop off her head, dammit! /extreme sarc.
she should remember, if a woman is raped, it is SHE who is at fault and subject to death..
if I were her friends, I'd find someone else to hang out with for a while although she's completely correct in her statement..her time on this earth has now been limited..
Your suspicions are probably true. How can we ever expect this group of people to embrace a civilized way of life when their religious leaders have a caveman mentality? (scratching head in amazement)
I'm sure the ACLU and other atheist organizations are planning immediate protests over their church/state separation.
Doesn't she know that she'll need 3 "pious" men to witness the act to "prove" her rape allegation?
Sickest.
"Religion".
Ever.
Being a woman, a long-term married woman at that,and a nymphomanic, I ping with great trepidation. LOL!
I would just like to add this disclaimer for Iraqi woman: Allah didn't really invent rolling pins, cast iron skillets, and those big beautiful chopping knives for cooking, you dumbasses.
(Now, I'm heading to the kitchen to cook for a Marine or two or three. Later, gators : )
I suppose the Minister found this buried somewhere in the 'holy Koran' ..... something like the way our Supreme Court finds things buried in the Constitution.
I think the requirement is 4 'pious' men...
