Re: Mutah [temporary marriage] – Social and cultural perspective

I don’t know if they generally end up in permanent marriage. From that one couple that I know, they did end up getting permanently married.

I also believe that Muslim society in general would not look favorably at a woman who did mut’a just like they wouldn’t look favorably at a woman who dated before marriage. But that’s the failure of society in general. People should not be expected to marry someone they barely know, apparently that’s considered “normal” in Muslim society.

Code-Red also mentioned that Shia scholars have left many loopholes when it comes to Mutah. He is right; one thing about Muta that disturbs me is that in theory I (a married man) could go and do Mut’a with a woman, without telling my wife.

Moonshiner - I appreciate your honest and straight forward opinion on this subject. :k:

Now Before i give my concluding thought on this subject, let me tell you folks some thing interesting …

Once upon a time, some 12,14 years ago, I was watching tv in a lazy summer afternoon. A film appeared on a tv channel, it caught my attention becasue of a familiar voice… Amitabh Bachan had given the voice over for the naration of that movie. I started watching the movie and did not leave my seat untill it was finished.

The movie was a delight. A very delicate and amusing film. Name of the movie was Shatranj Ke Khilari](The Chess Players (1977) - IMDb) . There was hardly any dull moment in the film. Full credit to Director for depicting the aristocrisy and delicacy of Nawaabs of Awadh
. Today i know the story was written by none other than great urdu literature Icon,** Munshi premchand**. All in all an excellent movie :k:
