SWAZILAND-PARLIAMENT-DIVORCE-WOMEN
This picture taken on September 25, 2013 shows Swaziland King Mswati III addressing the 68th session of the General Assembly at the United Nations headquarters. Swaziland's Senate chief said on November 29, 2013 lawmakers should not divorce to avoid embarrassing the country's polygamous king, who has declared that only death can undo marriages. Gelane Zwane, leader of the upper house in Africa's last absolute monarchy, said lawmakers should set a good example to young people in the deeply conservative country and warned them against the temptations of the flesh. The edict -- which Zwane said applied particularly to women -- came after King Mswati III said earlier this year that only death can undo a traditional union, even though Swazi culture allows marriages to be terminated.
