Changes to Laws pertaining to Women's Rights in marriage in Afghanistan

Petition created by: A Macdonald

This year, new laws were passed in Afghanistan which allowed men to demand sex from their wives every four days. This has, as a consequence, technically legalised marital rape. Every woman deserves the right to feel safe and secure in her own home. This law must be abolished for the future safety and well being of women in Afghanistan. Please sign to make this a possibility!

18 have signed so far - help us get to 10.


We have achieved 180% of our goal. Let's keep going!

Details, Impact and Progress

Women should not be forced into situations they feel uncomfortable in and marriage should be based on sexual relations. Laws in Afghanistan need to change to protect ALL their citizens, not just men. This petition will be sent to the email address of politicians in Afghanistan, including their elected leader, if the right numbers are achieved.
