Top Saudi Sheikh Says It’s OK To Eat Your Wife


 

The ruling by Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah is supposed to represent the sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband and has outraged campaigners. Previous rulings by the Muslim leader have called for all churches to be destroyed under Islamic law.

Men in Saudi Arabia “can eat their wives if they are suffering severe hunger” under a bizarre new fatwa reportedly announced by a religious leader in the country.

Saudi Arabian grand mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah allegedly issued the guidelines to allow a husband to eat his wife’s body parts in extreme circumstances.

The cleric is reported to have said the ruling represents the “sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband” – but campaigners are understandably outraged.

The announcement has sparked major concerns about the already well-documented poor treatment of women in the country.

A statement reportedly from the cleric’s office said: “A fatwa attributed to the Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, which allows a man to eat his wife or parts of her body if the husband was afflicted with a severe hunger, raised concern and debate over social media since yesterday evening.

“The fatwa is interpreted as evidence of the sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband and her desire for the two to become one.”

Anybody still pushing the idea that Islam is a religion of peace should have to witness these barbaric acts first hand. The lack of respect for human life is appalling.
