Shisha, that's actually the problem. I mean, heck, I keep reading thingsa bout the movement of late in Morocco to make them repeal a law that allows rapists to marry their victims, in order to spare the victims family shame!

The fact that this law EXISTS and there is even any debate at all about repealling it says a lot about the status of women in this region. It's a shame, too, because in other areas, this region is making great strides towards gender equality. BUt then they have to go and ruin it with these medieval ideas about sexual violence.
