People are fighting for inequality, but, now also there are some countries which are still following such repressive laws against women.

Such repressive laws are in existence despite the fact that over two decades ago, at the 1995 World Conference on Women, 189 countries signed on to a plan to advance women's rights and achieve gender equality.

1. In Bahamas it's legal for a husband to sexually assault his wife if she is over the age of 14, while in Singapore she needs to be over 13.

2. In Lebanon, any man who commits a kidnapping, rape can't be prosecuted as long as he marries the victim afterwards. In Malta – a European country, no less – the penalty for abduction is reduced if the person intends to marry the victim, and the man whu did crime is exempt from prosecution and punishment if they do go on to marry the abducted person.

3. In Egypt, if a man catches his wife in an act of adultery, can kill his wife and get off with a far more lenient punishment than is typically given for murder. The situation is similar in Syria, where a man must only serve up to seven years in prison if he murders his wife, sister, mother or daughter after finding her engaged in an 'illigitimate' sexual act.

4. In Nigeria, a man can legally assault a woman without facing prosecution if she is his wife.

5. A man in Afghanistan and Yemen can legally restrict his wife's right to leave the house.

6. In Saudi Arabia, the Fatwa on Women's Driving of Automobiles prohibits women from driving and from obtaining a driver's license.
