I have no problem with the use of rape and think that it should be used.

I have a problem with the use of the term legalizes rape in Afghanistan. I think there should be a qualifier in there to point out that it isn't an complete endorsement of any rape in the country.

I don't discount the fact that husbands can now "rape" their wives and never had anywhere in the thread.

You weren't quite that clear in your first post.

The law is obviously stupid and not great for women but "legalized rape" is a pretty misleading phrase and really an outright lie.
Either way, I think we are pretty much on the same page...now...


I am going to call it a night, go to bed and see if I can try the reverse of this law....
