Morocco OKs law against violence on women, wives excluded

Feb 18, 2018 10:18 am By Robert Spencer

Of course wives had to be excluded, because of what the Qur’an says and what Muhammad is reported to have done.

“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)

“Morocco OKs law against violence on women, wives excluded,” ANSAmed, February 15, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

(ANSAmed) – RABAT, FEBRUARY 15 – Morocco’s parliament has approved legislation against violence on women. It took 1,200 days for MPs to approve law 103-13, also known as ‘Hakkauoi law’, after Family and Solidarity Minister Bassima Hakkaoui who promoted it.

The legislation obtained its second and final approval on Valentine’s Day with 168 yes votes and 55 nays and is considered a step forward to promote gender equality.

The law’s first vote dates back to June 2006, when 83 lawmakers voted in favor and 22 against.

The legislation now extends the term violence to acts of aggression and abuse via text messages, vocal messages or photos, sexual exploitation, aggression and abuse in the workplace and harshens punishment in situations like pregnancy or in the event that violence is perpetrated by people who are known to the victim, like colleagues. However, the legislation does not contemplate spousal abuse, a controversial issue in civil society.

From now on, someone who abuses a woman on the street can be sentenced to six months in prison while someone who forces a minor into marriage can get one year. However, prosecuting spousal violence is still difficult, although the national council for human rights CNDH has urged an amendment to the legislation in this sense. Article 486 of the Moroccan criminal code punishes sexual violence but is ambiguous in its definition, according to experts….

    Beaten because she wouldn’t wear the hijab. The old “personal choice” argument doesn’t even enter into it. You will wear it or you will be beaten. Honor-killing CANNOT BE CRITICIZED. Verbal criticism of Islam = jail time
    in this religion a female is not allowed to ever feel the wind in their hair. Therefore her father should also be charged with child abuse
    Muhammad had sex with a dead Aunt fatima (ali’s mother ).
    In a democratic system ALLAH is the president and muhammad is the prime minister. Allah was the slave of muhammad. Muhammad made sex with his dead aunty fatima (ali’s mother ). How a man can do this? Satan was born in the form of muhammad.
    • ” The Muslim legal text, al-Sharwani’s Hawashi, confirms that sex with a dead woman is not sinful or wrong according to Islamic law. This law is based on the example set by Muhammad. According to the hadith, Muhammad had sex with a dead woman before she was put in the grave.
    • The gravediggers were so embarrassed that they proceeded to bury the woman’s corpse and the prophet with dirt, exclaiming, “O Prophet, we see you do a thing you never did with anyone else.” Muhammad answered: “I have dressed her in my shirt so that she may be dressed in heavenly robes, and I have farewell intercourse with her in her grave so that the torments of the grave may be alleviated from her.” Recently a new law was proposed in the Muslim Brotherhood dominated Egyptian parliament. It would allow for “farewell intercourse” with a wife’s dead body. Obviously Muslims know very well about this demented practice by Mohammed. Postmortem sex is apparently a traditional value within Islam. Civilized people call it necrophilia and it’s a criminal act.
    Under definition of Fatawa , in Wikipedia
    In 2011-2012, Abdel-Bari Zamzami of Morocco issued a series of religious edicts that a man has the right to engage in sexual intercourse with his wife up to six hours after her death [47] despite recognizing that such an action is despicable in mainstream society, Zamzami persisted in backing his original fatwa, claiming marriage does not end in death.
    Yes and this is a civilized religion ??
    What prophet is this you follow?!” “Where is his morality? This is the man that Muslims follow slavishly? Use your minds!”
    • a hadith depicting Muhammad lying next to a dead woman in her grave, as well as pointing to hadith categories called “intercourse with a dead woman,”

    Look also Sahih Muslim 34424 (the same case of sex with dead aunt) Commentary of Imam Al-Nawawi on the Hadith Sahih Muslim: Book 003, Number 0684
    • Muhammad having sex with his dead Aunt in the Grave. [“Kanz Al Umal” (The Treasure of the Workers, by Ali Ibn Husam Aldin, commonly known as Al-Mutaki Al-Hindi. He based his book on the hadiths and sayings listed in “Al-Jami Al-Saghir,” written by Jalal ul-Din Al-Suyuti.) “‘I (Muhammad) put on her my shirt that she may wear the clothes of heaven, and I slept with her in her coffin (grave) that I may lessen the pressure of the grave. She was the best of Allah’s creatures to me after Abu Talib’… The prophet was referring to Fatima , the mother of Ali. “The Arabic word used here for slept is “Id’tajat,” and literally means “lay down” with her. It is often used to mean, “Lay down to have sex.”
    •
    how well do you know islam? you only know what clerics teach you.. you are not encouraged to ask questions.. if the hadiths are unreliable, then we have to disbelieve muhammad’s supposed miracles which are mentioned in them…

    Islam respects a woman’s purpose on earth.
    If a Muslim man beats his wife to death he can still have sex with her up to six hours after death.
    We have got to admire their resourcefulness.

      Are there any kind of statistics or at least anecdotes on this? Surely this never really happens! Aren’t muslims just preferring to smear themselves with S*^* and show themselves as the phonies they are rather than admit what a bogus nutjob Mohammed was?

      There’s a small degree of hope for women in this article. Not much hope at all in what Raymond Ibrahim writes however:

    To be fair, it took until 1993 for marital rape to be a crime in all 50 states (strange for a non-Muslim country, what’s their excuse?). I think Morocco should be commanded for taking this step. Of course this will never happen on jihadwatch because Robert Spencer does not care for any progress made in the the Muslim world. For instance he completely ignored the Moroccan law on apostasy because it would mess with his narrative.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Feb 18, 2018 at 12:19 pm

      Lebel,

      But Morocco did NOT take any step towards criminalizing marital rape. That’s the point.

      It may have taken a while for all 50 states in the U.S. to criminalize marital rape but each one has. I don’t know the excuse used by each state for the time it took to do so but I think Morocco’s excuse lies somewhere in the Quran. Again, that’s the point.

      • lebel says

        Feb 18, 2018 at 12:33 pm

        Hi there, yes I agree that part of the reason why it is taking longer than say the US is due to religion. Having said that, the steps taken by Morocco recently are positive and will facilitate further progressive legislation in this direction; including as concerns marital rape. This is also the point, they are not regressing, they are progressing. We should also acknowledge that.

        • CogitoErgoSum says

          Feb 18, 2018 at 12:46 pm

          Hi to you as well, Lebel. True, they are progressing and that’s commendable. But, what is the lesson here? Is religion in this case a help or a hindrance? For any man who believes that the word of the Quran is above all human-made laws, it will be difficult for him to accept that his wife (or wives) is/are not a man’s tilth to do with as he chooses and to “plow” freely at will. How the Moroccans find an excuse for getting around that belief without causing riots in the streets will be interesting to me indeed.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 18, 2018 at 6:50 pm

      lebel’s claim that the Muslim world is progressing on women’s rights is simply not the case in most instances.

      While Saudi Arabia has said that women may be able to drive in the future, Pakistan recently ruled that DNA cannot be used in rape cases, but that women must rely on the testimony of four men.

      There is action there to remove the ban on child marriage, and on gaining consent of the first wife before a Muslim’s taking a second one. Of course, these laws are regularly flouted there, in any case.

      The King of Morocco is not only in charge of The State but also of Shariah.

      He has to be cognizant of the economy of Morocco, and feeding many citizens there.

      Tourism has to be protected. The notion that Morocco is a modern nation also has to jive with international laws and a sense that Morocco is distancing itself from barbarism.

    • Carol (the 1st) says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 11:40 am

      Lebel is being absurd. The main reason “marital rape” took so long to be dealt with is that 99 to one we have fundamentally decent and intelligent men over here – and not brutal, indoctrinated dimwits with an ideology that warps and then exploits them (just as it does their women). A different league, a different ballgame.

      • lebel says

        Feb 19, 2018 at 12:41 pm

        Not sure I understand your logic. Unlike the dumb Muslims, most American men are decent and intelligent and THEREFORE it took until the early 1990s? Those decent people could not figure it out before the 1990s? Muslims are brutal, indoctrinated dimwits, what’s your excuse?

        Ballgame over, you just kicked my ass.

        • WPM says

          Feb 19, 2018 at 1:04 pm

          It is still legal to beat your wife in Morocco even with this new law ,it is not legal to beat your wife in America it has not been for over 100 years so what,s your point?? Read the article and point to were it is illegal to beat your wife in Morocco ?

        • LeftisruiningCanada says

          Feb 19, 2018 at 5:45 pm

          Where in Bible or Constitution does it say that a wife cannot refuse her husband, or that it’s ok to beat her?

          Surely this is the point…..

    In other words, it’s still OK to beat your wives.

    Robert

    You are getting excited too quickly.

    Morocco is only one of the 56 countries in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation

    Do other OIC countries have this law?

    • CRUSADER says

      Feb 19, 2018 at 3:46 am

      Not excited enough for *lebel*, nonetheless….

  6. sidney penny says

    Feb 19, 2018 at 2:30 am

    The article raises the following question?

    How long did it take?How many voted against it, that is, for violence against women

    Who were these 13, people initially 55 people who approved of violence against women?,.

    Out of 55, legislators 13 did not vote for the final vote for the law.

    In Morocco household slavery is still practiced. Moroccan families here in NYC are also carrying on the practice. So much for mass immigration.

    Mass immigration is designed to destroy the nation state and weaken hard won values of the host country. Here in the USA we hate slavery and have done much to respect the rights of women. The globalist want to weaken these values.

      Actually I have been to Morocco. I was in a taxi in Tangier which stopped at a traffic light. There were groups of young men milling around and I asked the driver why they were there. He said they were waiting to steal a car but not to sorry. They don’t take taxis.
      There are a lot of child beggars in Morocco. Sad.

    The Reliance of the Traveller (a classical manual for the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence written over 600 years ago), is an authoritative Islamic sharia certified by Al-Azhar in Egypt – the highest authority of Islamic jurisprudence on the planet- and the Muslim Brotherhood’s Fiqh Council of North America, states: “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” It goes on to say those “not subject to retaliation” includes “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (‘Umdat al-Salik, Book O Justice, o1.1-2).

    Do adherents of the Shafi’l school of jurisprudence get a pass?

    Parents, Grandparents are not subject to retaliation for killing their [female] offspring.
