  • Female polygamy article sparks row in Egypt
     OP - December 21, 2009, 01:06 PM
    Quote
    A member of the Egyptian parliament has filed a lawsuit over an article questioning why polygamy is allowed for men in Islam but not for women.

    The article in the newspaper Al Masry Al Youm was written by a female Saudi journalist, Nadine al-Bedair.

    It has been denounced by some Muslim clerics as inflammatory and anti-Islamic.

    But others have said it serves the purpose of highlighting how badly some husbands treat their wives.

    The article was clearly meant to cause a big stir and it has.

    Published in the independent newspaper Al Masry Al Youm, the article by Nadine al-Bedair suggests that polygamy should either be allowed for both men and women - or else there should be a new concept of marriage where men are not allowed to take a new wife just because they are bored with the old one.

    'Promoting vice'

    In Islam, men can marry four women at the same time - but only if they can treat them all equally.

    In practice, women in more traditional parts of the Arab world can suddenly find themselves after years of marriage with few or no rights if their husband chooses to take a new wife.

    The article has drawn predictably strong criticism from some Muslim authorities in Egypt, with one saying the author had no right to attack Islamic traditions and had to be stopped.

    An Egyptian MP has taken up that gauntlet, filing a legal complaint against the paper, accusing it of promoting vice.

    Other clerics have said male polygamy serves a social purpose, allowing widows, divorcees and unmarried women to find a partner.

    But one cleric at least has taken a different tack.

    He says the article is clearly not an actual call for female polygamy, but an appeal for people to wake up and see how badly some women are treated by their husbands.

    Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

    Funny, considering their entire religion is inflammatory to the human spirit.

    This is why we find so few widows in the muslim world. So few divorcees. This is why when asking your parents to marry you off they find a woman much older than you. This is why when you bring a gf that you wish to marry your parents frown because she is a virgin and NOT because she's had previous relationships. This is why you find so many men willing to marry a divorcee, specially one with kids. This is why young girls generate large dowries. No wait. That last one is inaccurate. Older women generate large dowries...  Roll Eyes

    Motherfucker, enough with the apologies. Muslim world, Arabic world is fucking enamored with virgins, obsessed rather. Its Lolita everyday over there.

    Humbert Humbert gives an apologia for his paedophile lust by quoting in one paragraph a list of historical and artistic figures who lusted for and had sex with 'nymphets' but he never mentioned Mo, wish he had, would make that most brilliant of novels all the more piquant and darkly funny and even more transgressive.

    Because Aisha wouldn't be called a nymphet. She was 6 when married off, 9 when you know what. She was a child. Lolita was 12. On the very least Lolita would be called a late prepubescent girl, or a pubescent. Maybe Im just nitpicking. But Im guessing Nabokov was worried about his head getting detached from his neck, like most of us Im sure he was pretty attached to it Wink

     Reply #10 - December 21, 2009, 10:17 PM
    Yeah, not blaming Nabokov for valuing his neck and not relishing the taste of Chechnyan scimitar upon it. Although doesn't Humbert sometimes muse on pre-nymphet aged girls and how he can anticipate their 'flowering' in his paedophilic mind? Anyway, this is about a million miles off topic.....

    The author of this article is asking some very good questions, ergo: "It has been denounced by some Muslim clerics as inflammatory and anti-Islamic."

    many women do fantasise about multiple sexual partners.

  • Woman's Right to Marry 4 Husbands!
     Reply #13 - December 23, 2009, 05:42 AM



    This is from an article written by the Saudi Writer Nadine Al-Bedair. It is in Arabic, so it would be nice if some one here can translate it all... Afro

    Summary:

    The writer asks for the right to marry 4 men and wonders why Islam is allowing Men to marry as many as they wish. In the article she even asked for allowing women to marry 9 men (I think mocking the prophets marriage to 9 women). This article is making a stir in the Muslim Arab world and many Mullahs have labeled the author a Murtad already.


    Source: http://jidar.net/promoted/299/12/2009/002312.htm

    @ Baal or any other member whose English is better than me, can you please translate the article. Thanks!
