Hey Gals, Check This Out
You’d think that even the most ignorant cultures in the history of the universe would still have a pretty good understanding of how human pregnancy works, because after tens of thousands of years of the same nine month cycle over and over again, you start to get the basic gist of things. Not so much, actually.
Late last year, a Nigerian woman was saved from being stoned for adultery only because she became pregnant within two years of divorcing her husband and Shar'ia law holds that "babies can remain in gestation in a mother's womb for five years, opening the possibility that her ex-husband could have fathered the child."
OK, you’re saying - so they have no grasp of a biological fact that has been confronting humans since we climbed down from the trees. But it’s an innocent mistake, especially if their ignorance is keeping women from getting stoned. If you are thinking that, shame on you - you should know better by now:
Amnesty International said capital punishment in [Nigeria] curbs women's rights... One of the convicted was a woman charged with a capital offence of culpable homicide, after allegedly having had a still-born baby.
I have a radical suggestion: it may not be "capital punishment" that is curbing women's rights in Nigeria. It could be something else. Just a thought.
