Fourteen-year-old Masuma Hasani said her whole family had come out to protest the law — both her parents and her younger sister who she held by the arm.

"I am concerned about my future with this law," she said. "We want our rights. We don't want women to just be used."

Sajadi is engaged, and said she plans to ask her husband's permission to leave the house as put forth in the law. She said other controversial articles — such as one giving the husband the right to demand sex from his wife every fourth day — have been misinterpreted by Westerners who are anti-Islam.

I will challenge this clip and dismiss the charge of "advocating marital rape".

Why is once every 4 days so unreasonable? Even women would probably complain about this. It is unjust to deprive each other without just cause within marriage, since marriage involves free consent and commitment. Withholding conjugal relations can easily be seen as a form of breaking the marriage, and provoking conflict. To equate it with "marital rape" with "some critics" is absolutely irrational and absurd. Marriage is a covenant of consent. Relations to the contrary, withholding anything, whether material support or affection, is always provocatory. Is that not plain? How would YOU react?

This has nothing to do with "right wing" or even religious affiliation--but it is the clip title the obscures this issue and generates irrational pops based upon political bias alone.

Everyone who pops this PC article, designed for political purpose, should answer how they would respond (whether male or female) if their spouse refused conjugal relations over 4 days without sickness or other cause. Would YOU not be provoked? (You think Obama might complain to Michelle after 4 days, or longer--really? Think their might be some tension in the relation then?)

Marital consent invalidates "marital rape", unless it is proven to be repeated acts of violence and bodily abuse.

The purpose of this is to get the liberals on board with an unjust war against Afghanistan, by thrusting feminism into the scene. It serves the pro-war agenda.
