Hundreds of Afghans swarmed a demonstration of more than 100 people protesting a conservative marriage law in Afghanistan on Wednesday. The law, passed last month, says a husband can demand sex with his wife every four days unless she is ill or would be harmed by intercourse. Critics say it legalizes marital rape. It also regulates when and for what reasons a wife may leave her home alone.

In understand that we now have a duty to these people, but I often wonder why we waste our time and money on people who refuse to help themselves. Say what you want about diversity and tolerance, some people are simply backwards, and always will be. I feel for those who have the courage to stand up for change, only to be met with severe backlash. They are the only ones I am concerned with anymore.
