    It's a fucking disgrace. Why do they have to be married? Where is the equality in this? Anyone who is co-habiting, and I include the gays, should have the right to perform sexual actions upon their significant dead other.

    No point whipping a dead wife for adultery.

    Isn't the punishment for adultery to be buried alive?
    This could actually work out quite well...!

    I take it for the majority of situations, the "couple" would be in their later years? sure old people don't have sex do they?

    These laws arent being debated in the Egypt at all. It was a rumour started by a man called Tawfik Okasha who hates the Revolution in Egypt and the Islamist Party. Of course a paper like the Daily mail printed it and then others followed not bothering to check facts.

    It's been widely reported by a number of sources. Can you provide a link that shows that Tawfiq Okasha actually did this?

    Found this..

    http://egyptianchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/04/necrophilia-law-is-rumor-ya-people.html

    Okasha seems like quite the character anyway. He owns his on TV network and he's going for president in Egypt apparently. He also allegedly thinks..
    Not all the Jews in the world are evil. You may ask: Tawfiq, what is the ratio? The ratio is 60-40. Sixty percent are evil to varying degrees, all the way to a level that words cannot describe, while 40% are not evil. They, however, are divided into three categories: One group consists of the non-evil, another group consists of the non-evil to a lesser degree, and the third group consists of the non-evil to an even lesser degree.

    :pac:

    Anything can be widely reported without being remotely true. One media source makes a claim, all other sources use that and each other as their source.

    None of the number of sources that are widely reporting this, the Daily Mail et el, seem to be quoting Egyptian politicians. Surely if this law is being forwarded in parliament there must be some record somewhere of one of them suggesting it. It may have been suggested but by who and is it being legitimately considered? As far as I'm aware Egyptian parliament is televised live in Egypt... where are the quotes? Where's the video?

    It looks like the original English language source is the Daily Mail.

    Excuse me if I wait for something slightly more reputable to confirm this.

    What happens if a husband has sexy time with his dead missus, and he gets her pregnant? Will the baby be a zombie?

    I'll give you that but all one has to do is use the google machine for a bit and do a little leg work to get to the truth these days. I think it doesn't look good that no politicians are quoted but I can't find any direct evidence that invalidates the story; I"m skeptical too - just not as willing to immediately discredit the story because the Daily Mail is reporting on it.

    Oh I'm not immediately writing the story off as discredited. But it's up to the people making the claim (in this case the media sources reporting it) to provide something... anything... to substantiate it. So far nothing. I mean you or me will struggle to confirm it with an Egyptian politician or trustworthy source, they won't take our calls... but the Huffington Post, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph... surely with all their resources and contacts they should be able to reach someone for a comment, to contact some Egyptian TV company and request footage or dictation from parliment. But nothing whatsoever? Sure run the story in anyway, it's internet hit gold! It's awful journalism at this point in time so far. Awful.

    If a group of necrophiliacs met a group of zombies who would do the chasing?

    What about the ones that are a little too evil to be non-evil to the second degree but not quite third degree evil? So many questions!

    So, apparently in Egypt they would like to introduce a new law which would make it legal to have sex with your spouse for up to 6 hours after thier death.

    It will be called "the Farewell Intercourse Law". Brings a whole new dimension to the term "a goodbye shag."
    In the wake of the historic enlightenment dubbed by the Western press as "The Arab Spring," the Egyptian parliament is slated to vote on the 'Farewell Intercourse Law.'
    According to the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news service, the Egyptian legislature will decide if it will permit:
    "a husband to have sex with his dead wife within the six hours following her death."
    The controversial topic came to light when Moroccan cleric Sheikh Abdul Bari Zamzami, Head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, first spoke of the issue in May, 2011.

    Presumably in favor of equal rights for necrophiliacs, Zamzami also stated:
    "marriage remains valid even after death adding that a woman also too had the same right to engage in sex with her dead husband."
    On The Docket...

    The parliament will also vote to lower the minimum legal age for marriage for girls in Egypt to 14-years-old.

    As previously covered by Examiner.com, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia recently authorized girls as young as 10 to be "ready to perform all marital duties."

    Egypt's Rise Of Fundamentalist And Militant Islam...

    According to the Congressional Research Service, the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm in Egypt, the Freedom and Justice Party won 235 of the 498 seats (47%) in Egypt’s new People’s Assembly.

    The fundamentalist Islamist Alliance won another 125 seats (25% of the assembly).

    What do ye think? Would you like to see this law implemented over here? Tbh I forsee many problems with enforcing this law. For example, how can a spouse accurately determine a time of death? If you wake up to see your beloved has popped thier clogs (or sandals I suppose in Egypt) do you take the risk that they didn't pass on straight after their head hit the pillow?

    I'm assuming the idea behind the 6 hour time limit is because after that time rigor mortis will be setting in and you could get stuck.

    This is the biggest problem I see with it too. Maybe they'll run training courses on how to determine?
