Women's rights in Mali

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8223966.stm

Law granting women more rights is rejected. I love this bit though:

Hadja Safiatou Dembele, president of the National Union of Muslim Women's Associations (NUMWA), says the Koran is clear that a wife has the obligation to listen to her husband.

"A man must protect his wife. A wife must obey her husband," she says.

"It's a tiny minority of woman here who want this new law; the intellectuals. The poor and illiterate women of this country, the real Muslims, are against it."

Which implies that real Muslim women are poor and illiterate.
Nice one Dembele.
