April 11 (Bloomberg) -- The Afghan government won’t allow any law that would force women to have sex with their husbands or prevent them from leaving their homes, Afghanistan’s ambassador to Washington said yesterday.
“Definitely not,” Ambassador Said Jawad said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt” airing this weekend. “This is not the law yet, and it will not become the law, because it contradicts some important principles of the Afghan constitution.”
The legislation that would govern the country’s Shia minority drew condemnation a week ago from President Barack Obama, who called it “abhorrent,” as well as from European leaders and United Nations officials. Leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said it would be hard to justify international contributions to Afghanistan if the country fails to uphold universal values and women’s rights. Jawad is the first Afghan official to say unequivocally it won’t become law.
Jawad praised Obama’s message of outreach to the Muslim world during his recent trip to Turkey, Iraq and Europe as having a “tremendous effect.” His speech and visit to the Hagia Sophia mosque in Turkey sent “very, very clear signals that the United States is with the moderate forces of Islam and Muslims who are suffering, who are the prime victims of terrorism and extremism in their own country.”
