In a country where a huge majority of people follow one religion, then the law will, in the main, be passed by religious people and their religious views will out, either officially through legislation or by precedent through the courts. The lack of certainty on what you can, as a woman, be accused of is very disturbing, especially if it is just an interpretation of the Quran, and probably a male interpretation. But there is certainly very little the west can do about it other than express our discontent. The religion and the Quran is their way of life. Some religions don't support equal rights. We have to understand that and they won't give much of a hoot what the western democracies think about it. The battle has to be fought from within the country. Lots more woman will suffer before the landscape changes. Unfortunatley many people in many countries still live their lives by the word of books written many hundreds of years ago. Madness.
