An Afghan bill allowing a husband to starve his wife if she refuses to have sex has been published in the official gazette and become law.

The original version obliged Shia women to have sex with their husbands every four days at a minimum, and it effectively condoned rape by removing the need for consent to sex within marriage.

Are we in the 21st century? This is beyond belief.

So what is the point of our troops doing over there fighting the Tele-Ban when the regime that is already in charge is just as sick?
