Talibanistic Marriage Laws?

A British news reporter recently visited Afghanistan to conduct an interview with Mohammed Asif Mohseni, who is said to be the behind the controversial Shia state law, a law critics say strips Afghan Shia women of many rights. He clarified some points under the Shia State Law;

• A woman isn't obliged to have sexual relations every single night or if she is told by her doctor to refrain. But otherwise it is her obligation and something she signed up for when she got married. He calls it the wife's duty.

• A wife wearing makeup "prevents a man from thinking about other women on the streets and he can just think of his wife."

• A woman is not required to ask the permission of a man to leave the house if she has a job and needs to go to work. But they do need to get permission if they are leaving for other reasons.

These are just a few laws imposed upon those living in Afgahnistan; many people were outraged by these laws, seriously there is a law about makeup!!!Many of the laws are absurd; such as the edict on makeup.

If she doesn't (put on make-up), will the husband go complain to the police that she didn't put (on) the lipstick? Or, 'I like red but she put on pink.

I think its crazy that these laws were even passed by the government...
