IRAQI WOMEN ARE IN TROUBLE

There is no way and there should be no way to distinguish between the war on terror, democracy and women’s right. No one knows that better than the terrorists. While Islamic law is open to a wide variety of interpretations, leaving issues such as marriage, divorce and inheritance in the hands of the law as practiced by a family’s own sect or religion is more than foolhardy, it is criminal. Do remember that such laws may permit honor killing in Jordan, gang rape in Pakistan and forced divorce even in democratic India.
