Man of Honour
A new law in Afghanistan that the UN has said will make it legal for men to rape their wives, prevent women from working, going to school or even visiting a doctor without their husband’s approval.
Opponents say of the law that it is, "worse than during the Taliban". It is believed that President Karzai signed the law to ensure the approval of Shia swing voters. The law was rushed through Parliament with very little debate.
Female MP Karokhail said, "They wanted to pass it almost like a secret negotiation. There were lots of things that we wanted to change, but they didn't want to discuss it because Karzai wants to please the Shia before the election."

Nice to see they're slowly getting better.
