Afghani women who refuse to have sex with their husbands will not be given any food. And they can go out to earn their food only if the darling husband provides permission.
And who do they have to thank for this benevolence? Not the Taliban, but the moderate Prime Minister Hamid Karzai. You see, Mr Karzai needs to win over minority hardliners in order to secure another term in power. And if this grand mission requires sacrificing a few more rights of women, so be it - they are used to suffering anyway.
Again, I count my blessings. And again I wonder how it comes to this - how governments that are meant to represent our best interests rub our noses into the dust. And we wait for it to pass, without a whimper or a whisper of protest.
