Re: Mama's musings on Multiple wives
Pathani, OK, so nobody loves a woman doing mut'ah, but many men are surely loving these women or am I missing something?
Yeah sure....of caz men love the women they can do Mutah with..... Its a couple addressing a need. However, nobody admits openly to practice or have practiced Mutah. Its regarded as the lowest of low things to do as woman. Its very disgraceful from a culturel aspect.
And I doubt such a woman would get a proper normal "rishta" afterwards, if society knew of her doings. Its a victorian point of view, but SABR is better than degrading oneself...... Or if one is weak and can not control the needs, then it is better to be truthful/honest and look for a spouse to marry.
In Lebanon, lot of virgin girls started to do Mutah. But they forgot, Mutah is not an excuse to be active sexually before proper marriage and a gudian to give away at the cermony...... So there was a fatwa issued, that this is only meant for widows and divorcees. None married girls should refrain from doing mutah.
For some students is a good way to have needs fulfilled and still not pay a dime to maintain the mutah-wife, they can afford a sexual relationship and by doing so, if they are Shia, they believe they are not committing Zinah.
At for the religious part of it:
It was during the long trips to foreign countries, where companions of Rasuulallah (pbuh) were being annoyed/bothered over their need of intimacy.... They had been away from their wives over several months...so they felt they could not concentrate themselves. Thus the decree of Mutah.
Im sorry, I was inable to find the reference...... Am at work.
Now later on, it was a sudden caliph forbidding it. And this is one of the FEW exeptions in Islam, that a law later on gets annulled.
