Islam's Latest Contribution to Society: One Hour Marriages

The whole thing is so sick.

How to stop illicit affairs? Have one-hour marriages, says Iranian cleric

SOME see it as a divinely sanctioned safety valve to ease sexual frustration; others call it a hypocritical cover for prostitution.

The Shia Muslim tradition of temporary marriage, or sigheh, allows a man and a woman in Iran to marry for a set period of time, ranging from an hour to 99 years.

However, the practice is regarded as illicit sex by the majority Sunni community.

Sounds like something the Hollyweird crowd could dig their ........ teeth into. No community property though.

However, the practice is regarded as illicit sex by the majority Sunni community.

Even in Iran, it has been considered socially taboo and uncommon, but now the country's hardline interior minister has ignited controversy by promoting temporary marriage as a way of countering a perceived increase in illegal extra- and pre-marital sex.

Mostafa Pourmohammadi, a cleric, said: "We have to find a solution to meet the sexual desire of the youth who have no possibility of marriage. Temporary marriage is God's rule. We must encourage that."

Who certified Islam as a religion? These are lunatics.

Sexual frustration is acknowledged as a problem by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Half the country's population of 70 million is aged under 30, there is high unemployment and many young Iranians complain they cannot afford to get married or buy a house.

For some, sigheh strikes a balance between the needs of the flesh and the legal demands of marriage.

Gaining speedy conjugal rights simply requires registering the relationship with a local notary or, more commonly, taking an oral vow before a cleric.

 

Sigheh is seen as a way of channelling young people's sexual urges under Iran's strict sexual segregation. "I have no money to set up a matrimonial life. I don't want prostitutes. What should I do with my sexual needs?" asked Reza Sarabi, 23, a taxi driver.

One of his colleagues joked: "It's like being able to change your old car."

Critics say temporary marriages are biased in favour of men and will exacerbate prostitution, which is illegal in Iran but on the rise.

A married man can have as many temporary wives as he wants and break the contract whenever he wants, while a woman cannot.

Once the contract is over, temporary wives cannot enter another relationship for three months and ten days - to determine if there is a child and to establish its paternity. There is no such restriction on men.

Those wild and crazy leftarded feminazis could not be reached for comment.

So....let me see if I have this right.

Islam, being a strict moral code, prohibits extra or pre marital sex. But people want to have sex. Instead of telling them "no", the solution is to let people get married for an hour. Then they can have all the hookers and affairs they want and still be within the strict moral dictates of Islam.

Wait...wait...I see a connection here. In other news, people of the opposite sex cannot work in the same workplace, lets their animal passions take over. So the solution is to let men suck on the breasts of their coworkers, which then makes it OK.

This whole Islam thing is so twisted, it's a parody of a joke of a take-off of a spoof at this point. It couldn't get more ridiculous if you put a team of top comedy writers on it for a year to come up with this stuff.

Four wives, all the hookers you want, and your women have to cover themselves in sheets, sit in the house waiting for you, and obey your every command or get beaten. It's like a 13 year old's BDSM-tinged fantasy as he discovers his sexuality before learning to relate to girls, except it's been applied to a billion people.

"In Iran, a large percentage of the under-30 population cannot find employment, cannot get married or buy a house..."

Maybe the fact there's little education and even less industry other than railing at the West has something to do with their predicament. Guess they'll have to live at home and have mama do their laundry. Of course, this WOULD give them time to go build a mud hut that would fit in perfectly with their 7th Century religion...but that might be too much like "work".
