take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I can't even begin to understand the kind of thinking that supports this viewpoint. Or society that institutes it as a law.
ohhh that's it Cate lump us all together.
Godfather.
its a man's world ... still
this subject a damn good example
I have to disagree, if a woman wants to protect herself she most certainly can. Women are play an intregal part in this world it only appears that it's a man's. That is according to the one and only James Brown.

how about here even in ours ... :?
and James Brown he's a bit slap happy maybe not the best example on how not to
womanize a woman
well played
Cate...I don't think it is far to call that person a man simply because he has genitals. He is no man in my book

This is obviously ridiculous, as is somehow linking this to Santorum :roll: (I know that wasn't you).
This is a completely stupid "tradition" that once again shows why ruling via religious doctrine is not only silly, but dangerous. Does that make all Moroccan's bad? Absolutely not. Just the ruling folks that have not seen fit to change something so obviously amoral because of some religious belief.
Hopefully, this poor little girl did not die in vain, and there is a holiday in her honor in Morocco some day (not that I would ever know). So sad.
hey ... if some people can boycott french products because they don't want to bomb innocent people ... i should be able to boycott a country that still employs a judicial system that would force this girl down this path ...
how do you hope to constitute change in morocco then? ... boycotts and impacts to the economy are known to work ...
Oh. You can do whatever you want. Boycott Morocco. I don't care. I actually thought you were being facetious and trying to make a comment about how this type of rule ends up in racially motivated tirades. So, my bad on the interpretation.
Unfortunately, boycotts don't work on countries like that because it winds up hurting the general populace, some (maybe many) of who may not agree with current policy. The leaders will still get theirs.
But, do what you want.
And boycotting France is a good policy all around. No add'l reasons needed.
I understand that this law (which is also mentioned in the Old Testament!) is rarely applied in Morocco. It is ancient and, it would seem, difficult to call upon as both families need to agree. This does not happen often and, if it does, it will mainly be amongst the less educated or those living in more remote areas.
This said, even once is one time too many, whether this marriage has as tragic endings as this one. What is needed (and an ongoing 'project') is education, education, education. Whilst women can be 'nothing' in this country, they also hold positions of power or influence and are working very hard to change the situation of women there (albeit they also need to 'comply' to certain rules/tradition, whether of behaviour, modesty etc.).
My friend Hamida (who is moroccan) is not only a judge in Belgium but also a women's rights advocate/family lawyer in Morocco. Foundations are being laid, but it's a very, very difficult road ahead - EDUCATION! Of women AND men!
Not the man James Brown but his song *It's A Man's Man's Man's World*
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be NOTHING, NOTHING without a woman or a girl

not to be mean but did he sing that while he beat her :?
seems terribly hypocritical words for what he has been accused of
because a real man appreciates women as his words elude to
but actions do not
I see your point though and
I hope you see it is a man's world still
women need the help of men to change that here and abroad
Well I don't see it as a man's world necessarily, or maybe I'm just around more women who have been successful without ever needing any help from a man.

You say men are fucks and then call someone else sexist. I find that hilarious!
what a sexist, misguided, and ingorant response
I think it was a emotional response, both sexes feel that way about the other sex on occassion.
except gays
and again this topic we are speaking of is an example of the
world women live in
Glad your life is so privledged to not see the women on the streets, or in the shelters,
or see how many are hurt...
good for you and your friends.
Me I look around and say it's still a man's world
when one woman is raped every f'n minute in the great US of A
I guess I expect better and know that it is men who must require more of other men.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29
28 If a man encounters a young woman, a virgin who is not engaged, takes hold of her and rapes her, and they are discovered, 29 the man who raped her must give the young woman’s father 50 silver shekels, and she must become his wife because he violated her. He cannot divorce her as long as he lives.
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

I am tired; my heart is
