Egypt’s new Islamist-dominated parliament is preparing to introduce a controversial law that would allow husbands to have sex with their deceased wives up to six hours after death. Known as the "farewell Intercourse" law, the measure is being championed as part of a raft of reforms introduced by the parliament that will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 for girls.
Egypt’s National Council for Women is campaigning against the changes, saying that ‘marginalizing 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.

Nope: take comfort that you were not alone with the same issue.... :]
Women can have sex with their dead husband... How? Popsicle sticks and duct tape?! Never mind... I don’t want to know.
Obummer is a ``Corpse-Man.``
Ha ha...maybe you missed the "ex-wife part of my message. :)
Ran across a 2007 article saying there were nine states at the time where necrophilia was not a crime.
Should also point out that this MAY have been submitted to Parliament. It has not passed.
Some idiot could submit a similar bill to any state legislature or Congress tomorrow. His doing so would tell us nothing, of itself, about America. Except that there are idiots here, like everywhere else.
wonder where the “6 hour” rule comes from?
No I don’t want to read the whole article.
Ewww.
Read once that King Herod had his wife Mariamne killed and then preserved her body in honey so he could continue having sex with her.
Just eeew.
As if we needed even more evidence that Islam is a brainchild of Satan. Necrophilia. Check.
This is the sickest thing I’ve ever heard of.
What kind of brainless savages would propose a law like this?
Begs the question Who would even think of something this psychotic?
Reminds me of the Alice Cooper Tune “I Love the Dead”:
I love the dead before they’re cold
Their bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see nothing
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never even knew your now-rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, darling!
I love the dead (x18)
I love the dead before they’re cold
Their bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see... nothing!
Can’t wait until I see him in concert again!
Religeon of “gettin a piece!”
