Wouldn't ya know, I actually agree with you! But I still have a problem with the law. Is this going to help these women at all? I believe someone in this thread said that these women will not basically be confined to their houses and they'll actually have less freedoms because husbands who impose such controlling and manipulative restraints on their wives then one law from a secular gov't isn't gonna change that for those women. Instead he'll just force her to stay inside all the time.

Maybe over time this law will help bring about the desired change but I don't see women in France benefitting from it any time soon.

Yeah.

It's a really tough situation. I think the women have to demand change themselves... maybe it'll give them a little nudge toward believing that the world can be different.
