In UAE, mothers now required to breastfeed. For 2 years.

Breastfeeding Is Now Required By Law In The United Arab Emirates

Quote:

The Emirates' Federal National Council has passed a clause, part of their new Child Rights Law, requiring new moms to breastfeed their babies for two full years, The National reports. Now, men can sue their wives if they don't breastfeed. According to the National, there was a "marathon debate" over the legislation, but it was ultimately decided that it is every child's right to be breastfed. Research has found many benefits of breastfeeding for baby, from reducing the risk of obesity to better language and motor development.

Strange. I wonder how the suing your own wife thing works. This effectively means that mothers also can't have most jobs for two years after having a baby.
