It's a major SIN for a wife to refuse her husband's demands for s*x- Muslim Cleric

Feminists and the NSW Attorney General have expressed concern after a Sydney Muslim preacher who declared it was a 'major sin' for a wife to refuse sex with her husband.

Nassim Abdi, a fundamentalist Sunni, told an Auburn mosque in the city's west a woman would be 'cursed' by angels for withholding marital intimacy.

If the husband calls the wife to be intimate and there's no legitimate reason for the woman to say no, then she must answer the call of her husband,' he said.

She must answer the call of her husband and if not she has committed a major sin.

If the man calls the wife to bed and she refuses, the angels curse this woman and he sleeps with her whilst he's angry, the angels curse her until she wakes up.

Mr Abdi preaches a seventh-century fundamentalist version of Salafist Islam from Saudi Arabia with the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah Association, which also advocates aspects of Sharia law.  

Long-time feminist Eva Cox described him as a 'nutter', while stressing Islam was not the only religion with fundamentalists who disrespected women's rights.

Somebody needs to inform the preacher that he's preaching something which is illegal,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

Preaching something which is illegal maybe should be banned. 

I'm sorry we've got these nutters.
