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.
Alleged proposals to allow Egyptian husbands to legally have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death have been branded a 'complete nonsense'.
But sources inside the Egyptian Embassy in London have said the claims were 'completely false', 'forbidden in Islam' and 'could never imagine it happening'.
The source said the proposal, if it even existed, had not reached the parliament - although it was also admitted it could be the work of an extremist politician.

Per the book, Blackhawk Down, Somali religious tradition has that the dead must be buried by nightfall. Considering the heat in Egypt and Somalia, I would imagine corpses would get ripe pretty fast. IIRC, Jewish tradition is to bury them quickly too.

And in the United States, among certain evangelical Christian denominations, woman are not allowed to speak, preach or pray at certain services... is Christianity your manufactured outrage when it suits your purposes?
