Family Violence Law in Lebanon

Feminist groups in Lebanon should not be hailing this lousy new law about Family Violence Law (originally it was supposed to be about Domestic Violence Against Women law).  Lousy Hariri movement and lousy Hizbullah succeeded in changing the original draft law beyond recognition.  The two movements disagree on everything except on hostility to women and their rights.  The original draft law was supposed to ban marital rape while the new law in fact permits marital rape. Look at the language, as it calls for punishment against "he who in the attainment of his marital right in copulation or due to it, hits his wife or causes her harm".  So marital rape is now officially legal in Lebanon provided the man does not leave bruises on the woman.
