RRD:Previously I warned that there was a very real risk that Islamists could come to power in Egypt.(fn1).
Now the Egyptian Government is seriously considering legislation that would lower the age of marriage to 14,curtail a woman's right to divorce & her right to get a education and--bizarrely even for Islamists--permit a husband to perform sex acts upon his wife's corpse.
Local Women's Rights groups are protesting and it remains to be seen whether this insanity will become law.
