Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death.
The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament. It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment.
Egypt's National Council for Women is campaigning against the changes, saying that 'marginalising and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country's human development'.
Dr Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, wrote to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker Dr Saad al-Katatni addressing her concerns.
Egyptian journalist Amro Abdul Samea reported in the al-Ahram newspaper that Talawi complained about the legislations which are being introduced under 'alleged religious interpretations'.
The subject of a husband having sex with his dead wife arose in May 2011 when Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari said marriage remains valid even after death. He also said that women have the right to have sex with her dead husband, alarabiya.net reported.
It seems the topic, which has sparked outrage, has now been picked up on by Egypt's politicians.

Sex for up to six hours? My wife would never allow that, unless she were dead.
Then again, she wouldn't be my wife anymore ('till death do us part and all that), so would we be committing adultery?
It gives a whole new meaning to the old expression, "Have sex with you? I'd rather die first."
It’s called the “One More Time Before She Starts to Get Stiff” rule. And, of course she won’t fight back.
Now that Egypt has been handed over to Islamic fundie nutjob rule, will we still be sending them $1.5 billion each year in foreign aid?
Strap-on?
Perhaps a little payback?
The Christian Science Monitor isn’t buying it....
“Egypt ‘necrophilia law’? Hooey, utter hooey.
‘Necrophilia law’? Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, kids. At least until there’s like, you know, some proof.”

“Doesn’t Viagra wear off after 4 hours or less?”
No it can last longer... but then you have to call the doctor.
I have hope. We eliminated smallpox, we can eliminate islam.
Give political asylum to women and their children leaving Islamic nations AND their Islamic faith behind. If they’re ready to wipe their a$$ with the Koran, then bring me your wretched masses yearning to breathe free.
Let the muzzie wife-stoning honor killing clitoris sawing bastards they leave behind poke their pin di©ks into dead goats.
bttt
“It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14”
That should delight the so called “freedom to marry” advocates.
further sustaining the belief that duct tape & WD40 can fix most anything, two additional uses are now proposed.
No thanks.
Wow, Islam condones something possibly worse than pedophilia.
I’m shocked; one has to reach new levels of depravity to top diddling.
Other sources are saying this is bull. Too bad cause it’s hilarious.
