I really hope the rumours of this new 'farewell intercourse law' are not true.

Things like this make me sure that I'll never turn to religion. I see far too many things that cement my logical beliefs than those that would ever lure me a religious life - (not an attack by any means, just my personal view)

Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death, local media is claiming.

The controversial new law is claimed to be 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.

Although reported in local media, there are some suggestions from within Egypt that the plans do not exist and were merely seeded by journalists loyal to ousted President Hosni Mubarak.

MailOnline has contacted the Egyptian Embassy and Consulate in London for comment on the claimed proposals, and is yet to receive a reply.

Anyway I hope it's not true. Can anyone here offer a reasonable justification of this? Because I can't even begin to see one.

(Keeping in mind this is also running on numerous other sites, although I'm not sure how credible they are.)

Thanks, Tim.

I'm guessing this is complete and utter tripe.

I've seen the news article at a couple of sites so it's probably correct.  I've been "religious" all my life and have NEVER heard of such a thing before.  I would also love to hear from a Muslim if this is some accepted cultural tradition.  It seems totally creepy to me.
Choose to stay away from religion if you like but lumping all religions into the same group is not a fair way to approach such a decision.  They are NOT all the same.  Best wishes Tim

Yeah, as said above, I doubt this is true. If it is, well, that's just weird.

Most women just lay there motionless anyway.

It was two weeks before I noticed that my first wife had died. The sex was the same, but the housework was stacking up!

They've updated the news report -

Alleged proposals to allow Egyptian husbands to legally have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death have been branded a 'complete nonsense'.

But sources inside the Egyptian Embassy in London have said the claims were 'completely false', 'forbidden in Islam' and 'could never imagine it happening'

im glad it was fake, cause necrophilia is just wrong and shouldnt be made legal.

Haha, you can turn that around anyway, just show the said female the numerous studies that have 'proven' female orgasms relieve headaches  

Although then she'll just think of another better excuse...

Hey and then,

I wouldn't judge all religions based on one (I'm glad in this case my OP was untrue), but there is really nothing that remotely humours me to become religious.

Too many atrocities carried out in the name of religion, but even if you could justify that there are the same amount due to non-religious motivations (or disregard the atrocities altogether), there is nothing positive religion has to offer which would improve my already complete logically-based life.

Tim.
