Fatwa Forces Men to Drink Breast Milk

A friend sent me this.....I didn't realize the exploitation of women included this:
It's hard to believe, but in some parts of the world you can actually
dodge charges of adultery by sucking on a woman's breast: A post at Open
Salon says that "the Saudis have issued a fatwa that forces women who
come into contact with unrelated men on a regular basis to breastfeed
them so that they can be considered 'relatives' and not potential
lovers." (It is illegal under Saudi Arabian law for men to mix with
unrelated women.) It's unclear whether or not this fatwa is enforced,
though there seem to be plenty of theories on how it should be applied:
Sheikh Al Obeikan says, "The man should take the milk, but not directly
from the breast of the woman," while Sheikh Abi Ishaq Al Huwaini demands
that men suckle directly from the breast.

Read it at Open Salon:
