An Afghan bill allowing a husband to starve his wife if she refuses to have sex has been published in the official gazette and become law.
It allows a man to withhold food from his wife if she refuses his sexual demands; a woman must get her husband's permission to work; and fathers and grandfathers are given exclusive custody of children
