TEMPO.CO, Tunis - Dozens of Tunisian women are leaving for Syria on 'sexual jihad'. Tunisian Home Affairs Minister Ben Jeddou said those women have left for Syria to provide comfort—and sexual favors—for the rebel fighters who have been staging rebellion against Bashar Al-Assad.


The women were reportedly to go on a 'sexual jihad' by having sexual relations with 20, 30 or 100 militants. "After that, they come home pregnant," he said.


Ben Jeddou revealed the fact at the National Constituent Assembly on Thursday. However, he did not say how many women have traveled to Syria and came home pregnant. "After the sexual liaisons they have there in the name of 'jihad al-nikah', they come home pregnant," he said.


Some hardline Sunni Salafi jihadists consider the practice a legitimate complement to Holy War. According to France 24, the numbers of Tunisian women going on this kind of Jihad reached hundreds.


Ben Jeddou said the government has prevented some 6,000 Tunisians from traveling to Syria.
