A new Afghan law that has drawn Western condemnation for restricting women's rights does not allow marital rape as its critics claim, but lets men refuse to feed wives who deny them sex, the cleric behind it says.

Afhanistan women have a very tough time at the hands of their men.

Have you ever read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini? It's all about the treatment of women in Afganistan. It's fiction, but very realistic, and told from the perspective of two women who faced the horrors there. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it!

You'll find this hard to believe, Kristin, I have just finished reading it, it's the second book I have read on the women of Afghanistan and they are a real eye opener, how badly they are treated and some even worse than animals so it seems.

Everyone should really pay attention to the plight of these women, they have no escape and appear to be the cheap products of their male 'owners'

Thanks for visiting and leaving your comment.
