Democracy Afghan Style

A new law has been passed in Afghanistan allowing Shia men to withhold food from their wives if they refuse to obey their sexual desires. It also prohibits women of Shia mean from leaving their homes without their husbands' approval.

The law is seen as an attempt by President Karzai to win votes in the forthcoming national elections.
