President Obama's was asked a question at his Nato Press Conference about a new law intended to regulate family life inside Afghanistan's minority Shia community. Among the new law's provisions:
• wives are obliged to have sexual relations with their husbands at least once every four days
• women cannot leave home without their husband's permission
Critics say the law limits the rights of women from the Shia minority and authorises rape within marriage.
