Temporary Marriage???

I just discovered that Islam acknowledges "temporary marriages". Here's an article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_mut%E2%80%98ah

What are some of your thoughts on this?

I agree that they are more open with their more carnal nature. However, it's been pointed out that in the West (where the majority profess some form of Christianity) far too many men have affairs, mistresses, etc. Islam professes that by putting human conduct within the bounds of divine sanction their society is free from so much sin. Their Allah allows for monogamous marriage, Mutah (temporary marriage), and polygamy. Thus, in their minds, mankind's natural desires can be fulfilled within the boundaries of what they believe to be divine will.

So in a way... as much hanky-panky is going on in the West among Christians as in the Middle East among Muslims. It's just their Allah regulates it.

Re: Temporary Marriage???

I dont know if this is what the Quran teaches but I know some Muslims have in the past made excuses in order to fulfull their vices. Men had little boys for sex but they argued it was not homosexual because it was not love. Muslim men in Afghanistan do this today but with each other

Or shall we say, men's desires within God's will mostly. I think the woman's will is pretty much out the window. What the man wants, God wants. LOL!

Re: Temporary Marriage???

Yes, this is technically allowed, but every Muslim I have discussed this with does not view it as valid.

I think that that is a part of Islam's attraction for males. In the West the definition of being a man has been so watered down and put into scrutiny, to hear of a religion that celebrates manhood, male authority, patriarchy, and appears to understand a man's desires can be very appealing.

Some of the Shiites (2 people) I know recognize it like a religious common law marriage.
