I think people have given up on me when it comes to wrong spellings
Its not about the prisoners only, its about their wives too. If she doesn’t ‘get it’ then she can cheat on him which could cause greater problems if he finds that out.
Yes, other countries have allowed prisoners to have conjugal visits for years. The laws vary from country to country…state to state. The countries that make up the UK and northern Ireland (I think you said you were from Ireland) don’t allow conjugal visits.
Usually a separate room along with sanitation items and contraception is provided. In the US, the inmates are checked for STDs. Hopefully, the Sindh Government will also provide privacy and exercise precaution. Also, in some countries conjugal visits are considered a “privilege” that has to be earned by the prisoner and can be revoked.
I don’t think they should be allowed to do this. They are under a punishment and they should be deprived of things & rights that a free man (who is not under a punishment) can enjoy & is entitle of .
and one more thing what if the wifey gets pregnant after visiting her husband in jail. Then who will take care of the baby ? Hubby is in jail so he can not go out & earn so what will be the wifey do ? then they will be sending their blessing to the people who allowed conjugal visits. The child will also be without a father and will be on raham o karam of others. Wifey will then also not be able to file a case of child support.
Jailers here extort hundreds of rupees from relatives of a prisoner, before sanctioning a simple 15 minute meeting… I think we can all imagine what they’ll demand in this case…
i agree with mama and others who think its not right. prison is supposed to be a place of punishment, not pleasure.
someone said that it would stop wives from cheating, but a strong faith in islam should prevent this, not getting the chance to spend the night with hubby! rather than allowing this in order to prevent homosexual attacks or wives cheating etc, they should look at teaching the wrongs of these according to islam, seeing as its an islamic state.
a guy who is sent to jail, his whole family suffers in numerous ways. Why punish his wife as well? why ask her to be celebate because her husband got thrown in the slammer.
plus in Pakistan (and other places), people get framed for stuff so there can be innocent people there anyways.
The other factor is the rape of younger inmates (who maybe in for lesser charges) by longer sentenced prisoners. If the biological needs of prisoners can be taken care of by letting them meet their wives then this is one ugliness that can be stopped.
that however assumes that all prison rapists are married doesnt it? and that they will stop it if they just get to have some hanky panky time with the mrs?
