Top Saudi Sheikh issues fatwa allowing men to EAT their wives if they are hungry

Men in Saudi Arabia "can eat their wives if they are suffering severe hunger" under a bizarre new fatwa reportedly announced by a religious leader in the country.

Saudi Arabian grand mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah allegedly issued the guidelines to allow a husband to eat his wife's body parts in extreme circumstances.

The cleric is reported to have said the ruling represents the "sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband" - but campaigners are understandably outraged.

The announcement has sparked major concerns about the already well-documented poor treatment of women in the country.

A statement reportedly from the cleric's office said: “A fatwa attributed to the Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, which allows a man to eat his wife or parts of her body if the husband was afflicted with a severe hunger, raised concern and debate over social media since yesterday evening.

"The fatwa is interpreted as evidence of the sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband and her desire for the two to become one."

The controversial Muslim leader has previously called on all churches to be destroyed under Islamic law.

But his latest declaration is yet to appear on his official website and no confirmation of its legitimacy has been made.

Women's rights in Saudi Arabia are notoriously scarce.

Until 2011 they were banned from voting or running in public elections and earlier this year all female television presenters were told they must adhere to a strict Islamic dress code.

The country has an abysmal human rights record, including against women, and females are banned from going anywhere in the country, or even opening a bank account, without a male chaperon.

Punishments for breaking such trivial laws include public lashings and humiliations.

This is a family friendly website, so I’ll just ask, did they really need a fatwa to start doing that? Okay, whatever.

The Southern Pimping Liars Center will blame this on the NRA and the TEA Party.

A couple of years ago some brain dead cleric issued one of those stupid thing saying that women were an affront to islam and said all women should be killed. This is not religion, it’s a bunch of wackos!

I’ve always believed Islam was the “Religion of Pieces” which referred to body parts following actions of a homicide bomber. This gives a whole new meaning to the term...

Does the fatwah at least require that the wife be dead first?

Totally expected from a low IQ savage. If you are dumb enough to follow islam then you are dumb enough to eat people and think it is OK.

Proof positive the inbreeding and experimentation with goats, sheep and camels have rendered this element of bi-ped a failed experiment and should be destroyed

I don't care what they LOOK like ... as a man thinketh .... so is he.

Remember that women can’t eat cucumbers or bananas because they look like...well, you know. So, if they can’t prepare a decent breakfast or lunch, what else is the healthy normal male to do but take a bite out of his wife’s arm?

What a sick, sick culture.

Does ANYONE believe that Islam has a place in the 21st century?
