Mutairi said free women must be married with a contract but with concubines 'the man just buys
her and that’s it. That’s enough to serve as marriage.'
Her remarks, made in a video posted on YouTube last month and carried by newspapers in the
Gulf states in recent days, have sparked outrage in
cyber-space from fellow Kuwaitis and others in the
wider region.
'Wonder how Salwa al Mutairi would’ve felt if during
the occupation (of Kuwait) by Iraqi forces, she was
sold as ‘war booty’ as she advocates for Chechen
women,' tweeted Mona Eltahawy.
Another tweeter, Shireen Qudosi, told Mutairi 'you’re
a disgrace to women everywhere'.
For Muna Khan, an editor at the Saudi-owned Al
Arabiya television station, the 'icing on the cake' of
Mutairi’s 'preposterous views' was her assertion that
her suggestions do not conflict with the tenets of
Islam.
Mutairi said that during a recent visit to Mecca, she
asked Saudi muftis – Muslim religious scholars –
what the Islamic ruling was on owning sex slaves.
They are said to have told her that it is not haram.
The ruling was confirmed by 'specialized people of
the faith' in Kuwait, she claimed.
