Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death

The new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament. It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment. The subject of a husband having sex with his dead wife arose in May 2011 when Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari said that marriage remains valid even after death. He also said that a women has the right to have sex with her dead husband.
