From Al Arabiya News via Improbable Research:
Necrophilia might soon become specifically legal in Egypt, within specific bounds, according to this report by Abeer Tayel in Al Arabiya News:
Egypt’s women urge MPs not to pass early marriage, sex-after-death laws: report
Egypt’s
National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated
parliament not to approve two controversial laws on the minimum age of
marriage and allowing a husband to have sex with his dead wife within
six hours of her death according to a report in an Egyptian newspaper….
[The controversy] to two laws: one that would legalize the marriage of
girls starting from the age of 14 and the other that permits a husband
to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her
death…. Zamzami Abdul Bari [pictured here] said that marriage remains
valid even after death adding that a woman also too had the same right
to engage in sex with her dead husband.
