An Egyptian lawyer has come under
attack after stating that women who wear ripped jeans should be raped.
Nabih al-Wahsh said if a woman
wore such trousers, she deserved to be sexually assaulted and harassed, and
said it was an Egyptian man’s ‘national duty’ to rape her.
The jaw-dropping comments came
during a television appearance on satellite channel Al-Assema.
Al-Wahsh appeared on the talk
show where the invited guests were discussing laws on ‘inciting debauchery.’
He said if women wear jeans with
rips that show any part of their legs, they are inviting men to harass
them, Al-Arabiya reports.
He added that raping women who
wear ripped jeans is ‘a national duty,’ implying that this would not only be
what the women deserved but a way for them to learn self-respect.
He said: “Girls must respect
themselves so others respect them. Protecting morals is more important than
protecting borders.”
This is not the first time
Al-Wahsh has behaved outrageously in a television studio. Last year, he
appeared on a talk show with an Australia-based imam who argued that wearing a
hijab — a headscarf — is a choice and not a religious requirement for Muslim
women.
This infuriated Al-Wahsh, who
took off his shoe and beat the imam round the head with it on live television.
