Men are really trying to control women. Nothing new but the U.S. had come a long way in women's rights. I mean, we don't have to wear a burka and we can drive, we work and support ourselves and we don't have to listen to what men tell us to do ... until recently. The changes in women's health care, IVF and other radical right-wing bullshit are really getting to me as I am sure they are to the rest of you.
Sure, I don't think abortion is the greatest option but I also don't think it should be illegal OR that a women should be put to death for getting one. For the right-to-lifers out there that think it is horrible .... fine, don't get an abortion.
Just like my sister, who's daughter had an abortion then went on a rampage about how Trump would end abortion and that is why she was supporting him? Can you say hypocrite? Which is what I said to her in much saucier language. I mean, great ... YOUR daughter can have one but no one else? This is the main reason I cut her out of my life.
Okay, I am getting way off my purpose for this post.
I was watching this video (I happened upon ... wasn't so much watching as I was listening) about the prince of Saudi's daughter marriage ... when they were talking about the Greek mother of this daughter they were explaining when he was "traveling" and took a "temporary wife".
Wait, what?
So this is how a Muslim (or any other man) justifies having an affair while he is away from his wife? If you are away from home, you can take a temporary wife.
Here is the explanation I found online:
Nikah mut'ah Arabic: نكاح المتعة, romanized: nikāḥ al-mutʿah, literally "pleasure marriage"; temporary marriage or Sigheh (Persian: صیغه ، ازدواج موقت) is a private and verbal temporary marriage contract that is practiced in Twelver Shia Islam in which the duration of the marriage and the mahr must be specified and agreed upon in advance. It is a private contract made in a verbal or written format. A declaration of the intent to marry and an acceptance of the terms are required as in other forms of marriage in Islam.
According to Shia Muslims, Muhammad sanctioned nikah mut'ah (fixed-term marriage, called muta'a in Iraq and sigheh in Iran), which has instead been used as a legitimizing cover for sex workers in a culture where prostitution is otherwise forbidden. Some Western writers have argued that mut'ah approximates prostitution.
Some sources say the Nikah mut'ah has no prescribed minimum or maximum duration, but others, such as The Oxford Dictionary of Islam, indicate the minimum duration of the marriage is debatable and durations of at least three days, three months or one year have been suggested.
Some Muslims and Western scholars have stated that both Nikah mut'ah and Nikah misyar are Islamically void attempts to religiously sanction prostitution which is otherwise forbidden.[14] The Zaidi Shia reject Mutah marriage.
Not only did I laugh out loud ... I thought, wow, men have really some up with some doozies, every excuse to cover their bad behavior, in sexual desires, wars, controlling women ... it is unbelievable.
Of course, I must mention that
