Ask the hookers they see at the weekends in Bahrain and Dubai enter into temporary marriages before or after they hand over the cash.

Condom Check

Visa Check

Marriage Certificate Check.

I may be new here, and unused to people's meaning or humour(?) when they say things, but I found your last comment really rather offensive!

Sorry, but I thought it was a bit harsh. :o(

But temporary marriages are against Islamic laws. And it will definitely not stop the sexual harrassment, all it will do is give illicit sex a new name.

support temporary marriages for the followers of Islam, maybe then the dirty perverts will stop sexually harrasing western women..but probably not!

And if it stipulates in the contract for 1 hour only...then after 1 hour and 1 second, marriage is over!

Funny! isn't it? ;)

Hmmm...I don't think there was temporary marriage, they might have been able to stay at the hotel as girlfriend/boyfriend.

must have done that in Doha. Before he arrived for the tennis it was his girlfriend and after they left it was his girlfriend but they shared a suite at the hotel in Doha.

Must have been a temporary marriage.

So when the husbands contract is over the husbands just come back home to the real wife and his family does he forget about the temperary merriage he had oversease? This temperary merriege is just like saying its a husbands mistrece and once the lust is over the marriege is over?

I know some people who had a temporaray marriage here, so it's not banned in the Gulf, it's just not advertised.

The sad thing is...they consider this temporary marriage as Halal! and Permissible! in the name of Allah.

See.....

If Temporary Marriage is not an excuse for satisfying lust, then what is it? It seems to be the easiest solution for adultery.

If Temporary Marriage really was to be done in case of need then why is it permissible for a married person to do it?

Also, if one cannot marry due to financial insecurity then how can one be responsible for supporting the child and not be able to support the wife?

Isn't it just non-sense?

By Apple• 4 Jun 2007 12:27

the husband is NOT financially responsible for his wife, but if she bears a child though, then the husband is responsible of supporting the child financially.

According to Shia's beliefs, Temporary Marriage is permissible when one cannot afford Permanent Marriage. And the need for committing adultery exist, No-witnesses! No Guardian permission's needed! and there is NO-limit of the number of Temporary Marriage one can do! Also the time period can be as little as 1 hour! In addition, a man who is permanently married can do Temporary Marriage as many as he feels like.

Legal Prostitution indeed!! :((

iran follows shia islam. the gulf follows more of sunni islam. temporary marriage is a shia practice.sunnis forbid mutah(temporary marriage) based on some hadiths.

'Ali b. AbiTalib reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) prohibited on the Day of Khaibar the contracting of temporary marriage with women (sahih muslim No. 3263)

'Ali (Allaah be pleased with him) said to Ibn 'Abbas (Allaah be pleased with them) that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) on the Day of Khaibar forbade forever the contracting of temporary marriage."

(sahih muslim No. 3267)

Laws are made by people for their convenience.

Marriages were never made so unromantic.

So what will happen to the children born out of these wedlocks?

...The guys & the girls will still find it more conveinient doing it illegeally....as it happens all over the world irrespective of religion & race.

Hayoonah if you had read my comment properly you would see that I was criticising the regime not the religion. I am most certainly not against my own religion as you asked but I do not suffer fools gladly and that can be applied to regimes and people alike.

...or are you a muslim against your own religion??

the idea is ridiculous,,but islam is NEVER ridiculous!!!

I read somewhere that women's groups are encouraging this because they hope it will take the emphasis off women's virginity. Personally it doesn't really bother me, marriage means different things to different people, if this is what someone wants to do, so be it.

I don’t actually believe in Marriage but I respect the sanctity of it. I don’t agree in Gay Marriages and this type of news (if it’s true) is an absolute “non-sense”

Illicit sex does not come only when you are married (pre-marital sex & prostitution) so how would “temporary marriage” answer the existence of “illicit sex”. As already been proven, Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world and still existing an trust me will continue to exist.

Sex is an action of a spontaneous urge (applies to Human and Animals) and you can’t just simply go through the process of getting married first and have this urge to explode for normally, "11 minutes" (according to Maria ~ "11 minutes" by Mr. Paulo Coehlo) =)

Cheers!

So is he rilly saying this is my sex wife.:)At the same time some men have a wife back home..what rights doe's this temporary marriage have? Do they have the same right as a wife? When they breakup, what rights doe's the kids that she will have in this temporay marriage have?

I know everyone knows that it's just a way for men to have sex.

What ever the recomendations and propoganda these so called people in power are trying to talk,even in this advaced century ,people are considering Women as only Sex machines.

They must remeber if they are driving their own Car,they will take care for wear & Tear,drive smooth.

If they are driving a rent a car,people will be negligent and least botherd to maintain and will think they are paying so they can use how ever they like.

People will always interpret religion in a way to suit their needs and desires. Quite sad really how they're too scared to take responsibilities of their own actions and use religion as their shield.

I'm just thinking of the chaos that'll occur cause of this "temporary marriage". Women will be pregnant without knowing who the father is, and since women in Iran as not as independent as women in the West it will be extremely difficult to be a single parent. The father will deny his child, the mom will probably be young and either still studying or at home, and the child will have a messed up life. Woohoo way to go Iran!

Hey Kelly do u think they'll have a refund/exchange policy? I sure hope so! hehe

This will boom the economy everywhere:

1. Insurance companies will have a new class of business with its re-insurance treaties. So the impact will be world-wide,

2. Also insurance companies would introduce additional coverage for non-pregnancy and "satisfaction guarantee",

3. Medical centers will be very busy investigating and determining the father in case of pregnancy,

4. New information system will be developed to track the "marriage transactions" for each individual. One should not be amazed if Oracle or SAP or Microsoft would launch such products.

5. Transport companies (like Karwa) would have additional business for home delivery,

6. Travel agencies and airlines would be very busy transporting temporary marriedees (those who are married temporarily) in case of international or overseas contracts,

7. Hotels and furnished appartments will achieve 100% occupancy.

People will start advertising in Classified adds,

That means who evere wants to have a new person depending on their taste get married whom ever they like and services renderd by other side is like a number less photocopier.

I mean, since there is a numbering system in a copier,one will know how many impressions they have taken and this temporary marriages are like NO numbering system in a human beings,it can be used as many time as the other person is capable as no record of how many types it has been used.

Very sad treat a human being like a human being,there should be some sanctity for the word MARRIAGE, mean a realationship for life long.

of this is our marriage contract in case they got caught while having sex. I don't know what is the value of such marriage papers while they know that it does not cost or got the value of anything more than the ink on the paper. They got there some serious problems and they are trying to go around the laws and traditions there by legalizing such thing. They can't control it , they can't stop it and it gives them a big headache. Guess they should have a good supplies of 'ADOL Extra', these issues can't be solved like that.

Hmmm...do u think they'll have catalogues and home delivery services with these businesses ? lol, hmmm...I'm already writing the specs I want! hehe

Happy to see Blackcat cheering up.

Cornie please don't take such things very serious. We are living in a funny world where nonsense is prevailing.

I would classify such arrangements like internship or as the call in n Canada Coop for university students.

Wonder if there is any dealer in Doha for such services. Have seen the add for "driver 2 call" and "housekeeper 2 call"

Looking forward to see "wife 2 call" and "husband 2 call" businesses. :)

This is just sad. These type of marriages go against the very definition of marriage. Marriage is wanting to spend the rest of ur lives together, have a family and children, etc. but this temporary marriage is nowhere close! But I must ask, what is the use of these temporary marriages ? I mean everyone knows that it's just a way for people to have sex without being frowned upon in society, so how are they kidding? It's really useless. I think this encouragement is going to have a negative effect on Iran, most people won't want to have families anymore, instead everyone will be sleeping with everyone with the excuse that they're "married". Worst part is that they drag Islam into this mess.

What is Illicit sex ? there is no such thing, the Quicker "I'm a dinner Jacket" is out of Iran the better. Half of Iran's population is, I believe under the age of 18, whole lotta trouble brewing there me thinks. And forget about the sex what about the RAMPANT heroin problem they have, good old extremists always worrying about the wrong thing.

Also see USA abstinence programs. Waste of time get this Teenagers have sex, its fu*king great move on, nothing you say,do or try will EVER change that I don't care what religion you are.

And you can throw rocks at as many girls as you want its not gonna stop em. But that was a different thread.

This is yet another ridiculous thing to come out of this regime...the woman will be the loser as typically a lot of men will not want to have a long term marriage with a woman they know has had one or more temporary marriages. Men will use and throw.
