A year after a Kathmandu-based women's rights group filed a case against a law allowing men to divorce wives who were unable to conceive, the law was thrown out. Nice.

Activists said the court verdict was a milestone towards scrapping laws that were discriminatory towards women.

The court has issued a number of rulings on women's rights recently.

...The group said that the law did not consider the fact that men can also be responsible for a couple not being able to have children.

Nepal has been on a roll lately, throwing out a number of discriminatory laws, including one that said women had to ask permission of from family members before selling inherited property.
