So today in my marriage and family sociology class the teacher was talking about different types of marriages and he was like " in the islamic world..muslims practice the muta marraige, which is a temporary marriage...which legalizes the concept of having mistresses" I was like 
So i raised my hand and was like " um muta marriages are pracitced by a small minority of muslims....in small villages overseee" ( the last part ok, not so much but still i had to make that distinction ) and I tried to emphazize that barely any muslims practices muta marragies and thats its a backward concept......(I dont want this white washed LI kids to get thinking that muslim men marry women, sleep with them and divorce them) so yeah i had to speak up....whats intresting is that I'm not the only hijabi in the class...but Im the only one who raised my hand |
To my knowledge, only shia's believe in the concept of temporary marriage. But that's weird that your prof would even feel the need to mention that.. don't really see how that's relevant to anything since it's rarely practiced. He could have just said, in Islam, marriage is basically like a contract.. ah well. Good thing you spoke up though.
