btw... doesn't need any sources. He just believes what he wants to believe. Don't confuse him with anything so trivial as facts and truth. If our society actually believed in the need for legitimate sources before they claimed something, we would be a much more functional society. I love to hear an opposing point of view. But a view is more useful for discussion if it is rational.

Please top saying aKHmadinejad. It sounds silly and ignorant. His name is Ahmadinejad. H and KH are separate letters in Farsi. Each time and Iranian hears some of us saying akh akh akh, they can't help but wonder how silly we can get.

Obama has a birth certificate ...etched on a log cut out of a Capnella Tree located just outside of Nairobi, Kenya, where he was born in a little log hut!

Where is your source ?

He wants to regulate these "marriages for pleasure" because he is tired of his mother coming home late at night, drunk and with her clothes in disarray.

The US invasion and occupation destroyed the secular and modern nature of Ba'athist society. Women are now subject to the same repressive Sharia code of laws that they are in Iran and Afghanistan. It must have been a very difficult adjustment for these modern women to make. The War worsened Iraqi society in every way, not just regarding the status of women. I'd sure like to see your source of "information" for your claim that women are now better off than they were during Saddam.

Did he say maybe he should post his birth certificate to his chest. No need. Simple unseal it. Mine is not sealed.

Berry rather have discussion going on about this than more important issues.

As much as liberals hate the Iraq war women have more rights there now. A imperfect betterment.

sorry liberals but if you expect us to believe factcheck.org you got another thing coming.

I am a mother to an autistic 12 years old boy.My husband has done adultry (so called temporary marriage in iran 's law).Now unfortunately not only I have no right to object this issue, but also he has recently took my son by court's order ,who had been abandoned for 16 months by his own father with no alimony ,running for a religious prostitute.my husband and the woman beat my son and I have the report of his injuries but they say according to islamic rules a father has the right to beat his child for the sake of his goodness!!!It is a pitty.There is no humaniterian law in this country.Not for women,not for children and not for physically or mentally disabled citizens.We would love to be heard by people all around the world.It isagainst human rights.Ahmadinejad or any other politicians...I think they are not humans,just thinking about their sexual desires and not families and proper life for citizens.

in this law married men can enjoy temporary marriage but married women can not do it so this is a kind of prostitution law which is ligitimized by mullas
