[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In western nations what is the percentage of men who have premarital sex? Based on this unfortunately high percentage,  I would say women are already treated as sex objects here. [/quote]

People have premarital sex for many reasons. Many do so on the road to seeing whether the couple is compatible on many dimensions before marrying. Getting to know your future spouse in both carnal and non-carnal ways is a plus of Western culture IMO.

And seriously--if a couple has premarital sex, you think the woman is the one being treated as a "sex object"? The woman may (gasp) enjoy it. How on earth is the man the only one benefitting here? Why on earth do you think only the woman is being treated as a "sex object"?

The veil is about ensuring paternity via intact hymens, in keeping w/ pre-Islamic culture. It has nothing to do with protecting women from exploitation--unless you can find a verse about exploitation in the Quran, which you can't. IMO the true exploitation lies in seeing women as reproductive vessels only.[/quote]
