It can't be to control Fornicating.. cos you can fast to control your desires.
Do you think it might have been allowed by men just for the pleasures of men? I can't see what benefit a woman would get out of a temporary marriage. After all the 'Nikah' has been designed so that women have the security of a man by their side to support them and their children...**

cooldude mutah was first practiced during the time of war in iran , I believe..
lot of young married womens husband were in a war so to avoid any corruption(prostituion) mutah was introduced so that young women can get married again cuz they dont know whether there husband would be alive or not..
If you take four wives as an example any non muslims would take it as a religious way to satisfy a sexual desire but no..we all know the reasons..!
I think mutah also might have the same reasons or the positive aspects of it, any non shia would also take it the same way as non muslims would take about having four wives right?its vice versa!
Again I'm no one to say whether it is right or not so donnt shower me with the verses saying its completely wrong or anything like that cuz shias nowadays dont practice it anyways..
