Egypt TV presenter convicted over 'single mom' comments

An Egyptian court has convicted a female TV presenter of inciting immorality for offering on-air advice to women on how to be single mothers, sentencing her to three years in prison.
The imprisonment of presenter Doaa Salah of the privately owned An-Nahar network was suspended pending her appeal and she remains free. Her bond was set by the court at 10,000 Egyptian pounds (about $570).
Salah's comments were made in July, when she counselled women to enter bogus, for-cash marriages to get pregnant and then quickly divorce, or to seek artificial insemination using anonymous donors methods seen as highly objectionable or immoral by Egypt's mostly conservative society.

Salah appeared in that segment of her programme showing a fake pregnancy belly.
The Cairo court's ruling was passed earlier this week.
