Yup. It’s legal. Well, it’s about to be legal. Egypt is about to pass a law called, “Farewell Intercourse” law, so that married men will finally be able to sleep with their dead wives – but for only six hours after their death. Whew! Thank goodness it’s only six hours. And there I was thinking it would last for seven whole hours. But just six? Okay, then.
This new law will do a lot of other things, too. It will lower the minimum age for marriage to 14. And it will also rid the rights of women to get education and/or employment. This law is being introduced by Egypt’s Islam-dominated parliament.
No, I will not go into the sickness of this. But I sure am glad that once again, Africa is setting the pace for progress. What dead woman would not want to be penetrated by her husband? And what living woman will not want her rights to be gainfully employed or educated to be revoked? Go, Egypt! And of course, what 14 year old would not want to end her childhood and become a sex slave? I used to want that so badly when I was that age. Egypt, thank you for your service to Africa.

Oh my goodness…. this is horrible…. sleeping with the dead?… pls will they be staying celibate afterwards?
… eewwww even if they will stay celibate afterwards.. dat is YUCk! why would a person want to sleep with the dead?
vera oh! i dont have time to read, can women sleep with their dead husbands too?…. *stupid question comes to mind as i typed this* but i still want an answer oh.
Are you saying you don’t have time to read this short post, but you’d want me to respond to your questions anyway? Lol.
Well, it doesn’t say anything abut wives sleeping with their dead husbands, but considering how anti women’s rights the Egyptian government is, they’ll probably not allow women to sleep with their dead husbands. Not that I think it’s a good idea for anyone to sleep with a dead person – male or female.
You’re kidding.
I was going to make a 10 plagues joke but decided against it. Lol. Good luck to them.
You should have made the joke. Perhaps, this time, they’ll get an eleventh plague.
I wish I were kidding. This is some sick stuff.

I agree! Just when you think the world can’t get any sicker, it surprises us again.

Lol. No oh! This is so not as bad. And I wouldnt even call gay peoples sickening. But we’re talking about sleeping with dead people. That’s sick!
I think this is a misinterpretation of the law. I hope.
