Who Knew Mexico Was So Progressive?

Via Dr. Helen comes this rather... well... just read it:

Mexican men who display extreme jealousy or avoid sex with their wives could be tried in court and punished under a new law, the special prosecutor for crimes against women told a local newspaper on Friday.

Men who phone their wives every half hour to check up on them, constantly suspect them of infidelity or try to control the way they dress are committing the crime of jealousy, special prosecutor Alicia Elena Perez Duarte told Excelsior newspaper.

Those who stop talking to their wives, avoid sex or try to convince suspicious spouses they are "crazy" even if they are caught red-handed having an affair, are guilty of indifference, she said.

Finally a law that I don't have to worry about being accused of.  But check out the comments on Dr. Helen's blog about this post, where there is an interesting discussion on why there's isn't a similar law in Mexico for women who don't put out.  I think the law itself is stupid all together.  But if it's good for the goose, then it ought to be good for the gander.

Heh. I kind of agree.

Where was that law a year ago.
