Gives New Meaning To "Sex-Starved"
Afghan barbarian/President Karzai talked pretty talk about not violating women's rights vis a vis a law allowing Shia men to rape their wives. But then, Human Rights Watch has discovered, a revised version of the law was passed last month, with the creepy passages rewritten like so -- from a Tracy Clark-Flory post on Salon:

The law gives a husband the right to withdraw basic maintenance from his wife, including food, if she refuses to obey his sexual demands. It grants guardianship of children exclusively to their fathers and grandfathers. It requires women to get permission from their husbands to work. It also effectively allows a rapist to avoid prosecution by paying "blood money" to a girl who was injured when he raped her.
