Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death, local media reports.
The controversial new law is claimed to be 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 reportedly 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.
TV anchor Jaber al-Qarmouty slammed the notion of letting a husband have sex with his wife after her death under the so-called ‘Farewell Intercourse’ draft law.
He said: ‘This is very serious. Could the panel that will draft the Egyptian constitution possibly discuss such issues? Did Abdul Samea see by his own eyes the text of the message sent by Talawi to Katatni?
‘This is unbelievable. It is a catastrophe to give the husband such a right! Has the Islamic trend reached that far? Is there really a draft law in this regard? Are there people thinking in this manner?’
Although reported in local media, there are some suggestions from within Egypt that the plans do not exist and were merely seeded by journalists loyal to ousted President Hosni Mubarak.

The power of the media. The media is the tongue of the world – there is no longer Fox news vs CNN – there is now the world versus its own lies…
This is foolish, can a true thinking person do this? Some of the people we choose in parliament are idiots just because alalanda sana naimwe mwasala, Mwakulasala namafi to tell you to sleep nowafwa. Why can’t you just go kumaule than to a corpse.
Am a scholar of Islaam and I have read the Quraan takatif. Read the Quraan. Do not bend the philosopy. There is no such a thing. Islaam recommeds and encourages as Sunnah good practice to bury the dead as soon as possible if possible within 24 hours. This is not Islamic. May the ALL MIGHTY ALLAH PUNISH these people. Do not mislead the world. The wrath of ALLAH God of Abraham, Isaac, Zacharia and Noel is a great purnisher. He destroyed this useless world so many times. In the time od Hud, Lote, Noel. Refrain lest you upset the Almight.

Crap, has any of those journalists got a clip of this message? Tell us true stories.

@mohamad, your great religion islam is lost, give your life to Jesus the only mediator between man and GOD.
These people are not God’s followers-i think that coundry is not diserving to have a parliament—the countries next to that country should take over before these people are rotening our planet—–for God’s sake—-Damn
In a way such things need to show up in the media so that light and darkness spiritually can be seen with the most unspiritual ones of us. I mean at least jim and jack can now tell the real spiritual status of our colleagues using the Koran. In fact one moslem i met in these international trips said their god promises that in the next world they will be given bigger reproductive organs. Now think of that to be found in a so called ‘holy’ book!! an dmany other funny beliefs you can even laugh.
Mohammed you are just ashamed bcause there is no smoke without fire accept that it is true. OJJJJJJJJ
ukudoda akatumbi??? oh my God…………….
What!!!
How about wives with their dead husbands, is it possible?
this is poor madness, to hell u fools
Ifya Bupuba Fye Ba Fikala!!!!!!
nonsense ………………God deliver us..
Alase!
Can’t never b a moslem. What a religion sure???
Are you saying ” ukukising’a pamo nokutomber umunamayo uwafwa?? haaaahaaaaa!! mwebantu imwe napapata ineee!! Mwe Jesus Kanshi mulikwisa? iseni bwangu pano isonde, pantu nga mwachelwa twalamikonka nifwebo!!! iseni bwangu!!!!!.
