The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
A Turkish mufti (Muslim religious scholar) has sparked controversy among Turkish Cypriots after suggesting that women should fulfill their duty to their husbands by accepting their “invitation to bed,” believing that his statement was a sign of imported encroachment of fundamentalist Islam in their secular community. Ahmet Unsal, the head of the Turkish Cypriot Department of Religious Affairs appointed by Turkey, reportedly stated during a lecture about marriage obligations that women should marry without hesitation and bear children because matrimony “isn’t about having fun.” Unsal also urged women to avoid other men except their husbands to “protect their virtue” and safeguard the properties of their husbands. He also said that men should pay for their wives’ necessities, adding that Allah detests divorce. The Turkish Cypriot community did not receive Unsal’s message well, and hundreds of demonstrators, 46 trade unions, and even politicians took to the streets to protest against Unsal’s statements. Dogus Derya, a well-known female lawmaker joined the protests and told Unsal that they don’t live in a theocratic regime similar to Afghanistan or Iran. She criticized him for presenting “his fantasies about subjugating women as the word of Allah” and argued that religious laws have no place in a secular community.
