Will you temporarily marry me?

Ziauddin Sardar editor of ‘Futures’ and Professor of School of Arts in "Will you marry me - temporarily?" article in New Statesman explained why Muta (sigheh) is a good thing for frustrated Iranian youth and promoted it! Well, you can follow the article in above link and here is my comments:

I guess you missed the most important problem here. Anything Islamic Muta (temporary marriage) contract or Islamic permanent marriage contract is legal if a mullah endorses that contract. So they make mullahs indispensable for basic needs like sex. I don’t see any necessity for mullahs or any Islamic figure in life including basic needs such as sex so any contract that mullah’s endorsement is obligatory won’t last long.

And about Iran's frustrated youth I should say they didn’t frustrate over a night, they frustrated over a three decade Islamic fanatic rulings which for instance have prohibited music, dance, any sort of happiness, any sort of relationship between sexes such as simple friendships and have initiated sex segregations in all aspect of life from elementary schools, universities to government jobs and it has gone on for three decades.

So how on the earth do you think involvement of government in our private life is a good thing? No way that you can justify this. Remember, nobody should seek permission from mullahs and government to fulfill his/her basic needs. I don’t know about you but I know it’s degrading to human dignity to seek permission for every basic needs.

I see Muta a form of extending Islamic rules, rulings and government to our private life which at the end of day, deprive us from our basic rights as human.

one more thing, I see Muta as a political Islam ideology and I say if Islamist still push for political Islam which suggests Islamic teachings should be preeminent in all facets of society and Muslims must return to earlier models of Islam and practice Sharia, or Islamic law, into their society, I would say watch out, because these days nobody pay you the respect that you don't deserve anymore and your idols such as muhammad, Allah or whatever you worship and is good for you; perhaps it's good but just for you and yourself, so keep it that way or it will destroy you and your ideology, altogether!

We, people, ran out of patient, here is an example
