I'm not really sure how you can be "for" this law, but I guess some women seem to favor it. Seems to me you shouldn't need a law if the men are big and bad enough to enforce it without the police's help, but that is just my take on it. Maybe the men there are really that insecure, lol.

I wonder how many women feel it is truly their duty to fulfill every one of their husband's

sexual needs when HE says so?

I mean it isn't very fulfilling for women when it becomes your duty

I thought this was about a woman who was split in two. Not to say that hasn't happened before.

And why do they need a law to ensure a married woman has sex with her husband? That is beyond me. All that does is open up the door for the abusive husbands to get away with the abuse.

I agree

I saw a story about this on MSNBC Nightly News and I almost threw up listening to the things these women endure! Their men severely beat them (which is bad enough) but then they will do things like rip out their nails, shave their head, break their bones and cut them. There was even a woman that said he husband forced her to have sex with other men for money to pay off his gambling debts!

One woman that was rescued had her nose cut off.

Wow..... I wish I could help these women...
