Pregnant Muslim Widow To Be Given 100 Lashes For Sleeping With Another Man: In Ghana!

WTF
WTF

You would think these cases of extreme misogyny towards women was reserved for the Gulf States practicing Islamic Sharia, but this is a case in our own dear nation Ghana.

Starrfmonline tells of a 23 year old Muslim widow in Akyem Tafo in the Eastern Region, who is set to be flogged because she has been found to be pregnant whilst observing the Islamic widowhood rites.

The rites, known as Iddah, require the adherent to refrain from sex during the period. However, her pregnancy is a sure indicator she wasn’t abstaining, and this has angered Muslim leaders in the area.

“The law says that if something of such nature happens and they are not married, they should be given 100 lashes.

“If they are married, then they have to be executed. In this case, the boy is not married but the girl is still in the room of her husband so the law has to take effect on her.

“If it were to be other countries like Saudi Arabia, she would be executed because the act happened in the same room and on the same bed she used to sleep with her late husband” the Deputy Chief Imam in the community told Starr.

I don’t know why he’s saying that they would have been executed in Saudi Arabia- like we’re supposed to be impressed that they’re only lashing her? This is a woman with rights and needs, and that Islam reduces her to an object who has to be purified or something before she can move on with her life because her husband died is one of the many negatives about the religion.

One of the many negatives about religion, in general. Only religion can perpetuate such cruelty and justify it perfectly under law, and actually be right- because that’s exactly what that archaic holy book says.
