[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only Shia allow temporary marriage and they are a minority among Muslims.[/quote]

Not true, and who the heck cares. [/quote]
Provide evidence please.[/quote]

You are asking for evidence of what exactly ? Yes, there is a tool of convenience in some muslim countries that is a marriage certificate for a pre-set period of time. In countries of the middle east that have legalized this form of marriage of convenience it basically amounts to prostitution for hire with only one customer from this date to this date ( a sex permit, if you will). Not something I would engage in. Why would I need to ? Why would I be so stupid as to give up some of my soverenty and enter into a contract like that when my male partner has chosen to engage in this activity with me, assuming all the risks thereof and I could take the relationship or leave it at no risk to myself.

Yes, I did have a marriage proposal or two. I laughed them off. To me, it was simple, if you are afraid of being caught and getting 80 lashes, then don't come to be with me. My experience was that, religious law and legal punishments were just pushed aside in the man's mind as a calculated risk. They were grown ups. That is on them.

Whether or not such "sex permits " exist is irrelevant to my point because a) I did not enter into such a contract and b) my purpose of pointing out that sex outside of Islamic law exists widely in even the most conservative Muslim countries, is not to debate that per se, but to point out that:

contrary to what many people on this thread seem to think, religion is NOT a prime mover of men IN ANY CULTURE. In fact, I would say, if religious law or custom becomes  an obstacle for a man between him and a base motivator he has, men all over the world will just shove aside or tune out their religious "beliefs" in pursuit of what are their more prime movers of their behavior.

It is my personal experience that this is true when what they want is sex, and I imagine it is also true when they are giving into hatred and rage.

Religion may be used as a crutch AFTER THE FACT, but when the decision is being made to give priority to a base motivator, religion is cast off as quickly as a Jimbia that falls to the floor when the belt of one's thobe is undone. 
That is my point.
