An Egyptian TV presenter has been sentenced to three years in prison for discussing women having children outside wedlock on air.
Doaa Salah asked if her viewers had considered having sex before marriage.
The Al-Nahar TV presenter also suggested a woman could briefly marry to have children before divorcing her husband.
Opening the Dodi Show wearing a false pregnancy bump, she said: “If she gets divorce she becomes a single mother. If, God forbid, she is widowed, she becomes single mother. So can you choose, yourself, to become a single mother before you get married?"
She also complained artificial insemination was not offered in Egypt.
Ms Salah was immediately suspended from her presenting job for three months after the broadcast.
She was later charged and convicted of outraging public decency. [The Independent] Read more
