Temporary wives

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I don't agree with muta or urfi, but at least muta serves a specific purpose in Shia Islam. Urfi is just a shameful excuse to defy the law by Sunni men.

Who is "they"?

Really. Who would call Islam a "religion of peace" ? Some kind of sick sarcasm.

Who would call any religion a religion of peace? There is no such thing.

My religion is pretty peaceful. We haven't blown anyone up yet anyway.

A thread? Ha. We talked about it in the MENA forum for about a year and a half straight. It's a bit of a sensitive topic.

Well the orfi topic has apparently come up again here. Maybe it never came to a resolution last time , and posters now have some new facts and opinions to settle the topic once and for all about who is right and who is wrong. Afraid to see who wins or loses?

How do you have new facts about a faith that has existed since Adam?

Wonder if when they hire the temporary wife for a hour and they finish really fast if they ask for a divorce right away and try to get some of their "dowry" back or do they just dress and leave.

NASA had a big announcement just today that changes our science about life as we know it. When you are open to new ideas, your world expands. Try it sometime.

There are hundreds of years of history and theology around this issue. Maybe it's a joke to those here, but it's serious business for Shias.

You're insinuating that I have a closed mind? Inform me of what I said to deserve that, please.

Just because people have believed something for a long, long, long time, doesn't make it right.
