The last time there was a mention of a fatwa was when one was issued against maestro AR Rahman for composing music for an Iranian film titled Muhammad: The Messenger of God, and he had given the Mumbai based Sunni Muslim group, Raza Academy a classic reply.
Now, Saudi Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah
has issued a new fatwa saying men in Saudi Arabia "can eat their wives if they are suffering severe hunger", reports the Mirror.
The ruling is said to represent the "sacrifice of women and obedience to her husband", but human right activists are enraged by the fatwa.
The fatwa guidelines allow a husband to eat his wife's body parts in extreme circumstances. Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah had earlier stirred a controversy when he called on all churches to be destroyed under the Islamic law.
Sheer barbarism !!
