The World's Gone Mad

The Sunday Times (News Review 29/04/2012) informs me over my porridge that Egypt has passed a new law. Now, you may think that Egypt has enough troubles heaped on it's plate at the moment to worry about passing law but it would appear not to be the case. So? What's the crisis that's far greater than their current crisis to merit breaking off from civil insurrection and wanton destruction? Well, the Islamist-dominated government have passed a bill that will allow a husband to have sex with the corpse of his dead wife for up to six hours after her death.

Why six hours I don't know. It could be a combination of medical advice and the demands of a very hot climate - who knows?

Just for good measure (as if this is not enough) they have also lowered the minimum age of marriage for girls to fourteen. This I assume in an attempt to attach some aspect of respectability to an obviously disreputable and downright disgraceful state of affairs.

Whatever happened to the Human Rights Act in Egypt? Dead or alive?

Yuk that has put me off my lunch

Re: The World's Gone Mad

Strange as it may seem to us, but there must be a lot of it going on if they have to pass a law with a time limit.

Re: The World's Gone Mad

Shocking Why on earth would anyone want to have sex with a dead body. It's sick and unnatural.

Re: The World's Gone Mad

I don't even want to think about it

Re: The World's Gone Mad

Oh God is there no rest for us women at all, mind you it takes some men that length of time when the women are alive.

Six hours???? Pity there's not an Olympic event for this kind of thing Annie - we could name and shame them by Nation. And you could hand out the medals but I'm guessing they'll be too knackered to climb the podium to collect them!:-

I always wondered why those female mummies looked so miserable Annie.

Re: The World's Gone Mad

I'm not being funny, but what sort of a man would want to have sex with a corpse? For very obvious reasons, that is illegal in this country - and rightly so - but why would any man, no matter where he's from, want to "perform" (for want of a better word) on a person who can no longer feel, take pleasure from, nor give pleasure back. That's about as close to bestiality as you could get in my book. Not nice at all.
