Exploitation of girls

Exploitation of girls becoming rampant
Hyderabad, Muharram 1/Feb 21 (IINA) – There was a time when elderly wealth Arabs would visit India and get married to poor, underage girls, and then divorcing them after a fortnight or a month, leaving the girl pregnant, in most cases, and with no means for fending for herself or her child that is to be born, thus destroying the future of both the baby and the mother.

Now, there is a new kind of exploitation of the marriage that is contracted by wealthy Muslim and Arab tycoons. In this new method, the groom signs the divorce papers along with the marriage contract, and there are agents who facilitate this method of exploitation of the poor girls, according to a Muslim journal, “The Voice of Islam” which is published in the Indian city of Bangalore.

There was even a case in which a poor girl discovered, to her dismay, that she had been married off to three different husbands, within a month and a half, by one of the agents. There are many such cases of exploitation of poor girls in this Indian city of Hyderabad, in which marriage is conducted alongside the divorce proceedings, but one of the Muslim leaders here has clarified that this is not the Islamic way of contracting a marriage, and is contrary to the stipulates of the Islamic Shari’a.

But such things do not happen only here, and in this country, but also in other Muslim countries, such as Egypt, where those wealthy people who long for sexual satisfaction, and do not want it to appear like adultery, hide under such false types of marriages.

Such kinds of marriages are given different names in different countries, but they all amount to the same thing, that is, it is a type of marriage that is forbidden in Islam.

One serious consequence of such marriages that are followed by a pre-arranged divorce is that the offspring become identity-less and futureless, in societies that are reeking with a myriad of other social problems, including problems of poverty and rampant unemployment.

Disgraceful. I thought all these evils only existed in the kuffar western society.

This kind of marriage is not an Islamic rule; it is a kind of marriage which one of the sactions in Islam goes by. The Shi'a (Shee3a) allows temporary marriage (zawaj al mut3a). It allows both the man and woman to sign up a contract which allows them to marry for some period (from X day to the Y day) and get divorced. It's mainly for sexual pleasure, so it will not be a sin.

In my opinion, that is a very pathetic rule. The other name which I would give such thing is the "Legalized Prostitution". Islam never told a man to marry a woman just for fun, knock her virginity off, and kiss her cheek a fair well goodbye.

But then again, humans are not perfect, and some of our extremists, God show them the right path one day and soon, are living a world of their own and think what works for them should be working for others. Again, that is pathetic, and I do not agree with such marriages except if they are holly and have the good intention, which Islam told us to follow.

I don't get your point behind calling the west as "kuffar". Maybe you wanna open a different thread, so we can discuss what's behind this. As I believe, some mulsims call a non-muslim a "kafir", but wanna see what you think of this and what were you told.

San, DK said it all, just i wanna add, knowing you and if you find out by yourself i wanna avoid a shock :tiered: , is that this temporary marriage was allowed also at the time of the Prophet pbu, in order to avoid zina , sexual illegal intercourse, in difficult times for men, such as when they were out to fight in war for long periods.
Not to go off topic, but also being almost within the rules, nowadays many rich from arab countries marry young girls as third or fourth for just one purpose you can easily imagine ;) but again, as i always remind you, look at the religion, not to those who practice it :wave:

You know ... people who go on and on about other people's religion usually have a severe sense of insecurity ...

Is our Paki cum Catholic so bored as to have to bring up these irrelevant topics time and again ...

[Arabian Princess]

Don Khalid explained it. Marraige is never for pleasure only.. but to build a family !!
Plus, a girl shouldnt be able to marry more than one husband in a month simply because a divorced woman have to wait for iddaa before she marries another man! so whats done is not actually related to Islamic laws!

[sanwin25]

What pretender, got your back up once again ?

BTW, much as I admire the Paki race, I am unfortunately not one.

Sexual exploitation of the poor by the rich is nothing new. The Arab man who "marries" a poor Pakistani or Egyptian girl for sex is no different to your fat American neighbour who gets his jollies in Thailand on his vacation. Just because prostitutes might have learned to smile doesn't mean it is any better to support the ugly trade that stole their youth too.

"Zawaj al Mut'3a" is controversial. But the practice you describe is not even that. It is illegal by any Islamic framework to marry a child to three men in a month against her will.

Forced prostitution is revolting by any measure; it's not "Islamic" either just because some so-called Muslims also practice it. So don't use this crime to beat up on someone else's religion.

[monotheism]

In Judaism, this danger has been prevented. Marriage has begun for thousands of years with the reading of the ketubah, a document which details the husband's obligations to his wife--including heavy financial compensation to the wife if the marriage ends in divorce or death--compelling the husband to regard the marriage seriously.

[MoonChild]

This, however, has not prevented individuals from participating in the slave trade, or from hiring the services of girls - same as Christianity or Islam.

We are discussing universally condemned practices (by society and religions) which nevertheless flourish due to the participation of men from all levels of society and all religions.

There is no perfectly moral religious sect in it's practice. Period.

[purity]

there is another type of marriage which is weekend marriage (in the Gulf) which also the couples signs the divorce papers along with the marriage contract, The marriage which last only for two days

What is the reasons behind this marriage in our sociaty? I dont think poverty like it is in india

[MoonChild]

You have to ask!? I think it's pretty obvious ...

[sanwin25]

How does PROSTITUTION sound to you ?

Hmm ... just 1 small Q,
yes i know that the Prophet allowed temporary marriages in his time, but was it prohibited in his time as well .. or during the ruling of the '7uLfa'a el Rasheeden?
+ Do u have a daleel shar3i? *hadeeth*?
Thx :)

[Enigma]

So only Shi'a do this?

They have some strange rules anyway. :lost:

Of course it's condemned. I'm saying that in Judaism not only is it condemned, but institutions have long been set in place to deter it. Of course people can sin despite these deterrents. Historically, though, these deterrents have been effective, and such behaviour has been highly rare in the Jewish community, with its strong family structure.

Don, before going on and saying that zawaj al mut3a is pathetic, think of the values behind it. It wasn't just made for any two to just decide to get married for a certain time. There are rules that have to be applied for this and it does serve manyy purposes, it's not something that is done without thinking.
