A group has urged wives to avoid marital problems by fulfilling their husbands' sexual desires like prostitutes.

Rights groups say the club's portrayal of women is demeaning. "Abusive men often use women's behaviour as a sick justification, but in the end, their actions are their responsibility," said Ratna Osman, of Sisters-in-Islam.
