Muslim Afghanistan Legalizes Rape, Pedophilia, Enslavement of Women

Just because the Taliban isn't in power in Afghanistan doesn't mean that the country isn't being run by Muslims who whole-heartedly agree with the worst aspects of Islam's treatment of women. In a move that might shock even the most misogynistic Christians, Afghanistan's parliament passed a law which basically legalizes rape, enslavement of women, and pedophilia — all in the name of male control of women.

Article 132 requires women to obey their husband's sexual demands and stipulates that a man can expect to have sex with his wife at least "once every four nights" when travelling, unless they are ill. The law also gives men preferential inheritance rights, easier access to divorce, and priority in court.
