Egypt plans 'farewell intercourse law'
2012-04-26
Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death.

The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.

It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment.

#9  Awwww, #1, I wanted to sat it.

That being said, a righteous EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW is warranted here.

Lest we fergit, Muslims can be forced under Sharia to marry an animal(s) iff they are caught have sex wid it - I'LL LET THE OTHER RB'ERS COME UP WID THE IMPLICATIONS/INFERENCES ON THAT.

#7  Morbid curiosity gives rise to a body of questions:
Where does the 6 hour limit come from?

Is it a stiff deadline? What if you start at 5h 58min after time of death, do you have to stop when the timer goes off?

Suppose you come home and just happen to find one of your wives is dead. Can you guestimate the time of death or do you need something more forensic like liver temp? Do you call 911 before getting started or after?

If you can find a imam willing to do the temporary marriage of convenience thing, is it OK to boink any recently dead person of the female persuasion?

And finally, does this give new meaning to having your buddies over for a cold on?

#5  At least his entree used during the entire marriage need not change, "Honey, just lie there and I'll do the rest".
