This ought to be good.



and the first thing they make sure to tackle? Mo bitches mo bitches mo bitches. Gotta get rid of that pesky law that prevented them from having plural marriage.

Can we just blow up the middle east already and be done with it? These people have fallen so far behind the advancement of civilization that there is truly no hope for them... It amazes me that systems like this are even considered in this day and age... Fucking barbarians.

so.... how soon til the liberated Libya gets invaded again by the US?



was only 1.1 billion the first time!

Unless the women are forced into it... Honestly what is wrong with more than one? If you can provide for them so be it. If its not underage brainwashing so be it. I love that it gets a bad rap because of the sanctity of marriage but then everyone rails that when it suits them, just like the bible. Why exactly is more than one wife bad? What physical harm does it cause? I sure wouldn't want it because I think one is hard enough but when you think about it, so much of the beliefs about marriage like this is religious based, that same religion that is railed on here in almost every thread that brings it up.

Yeah because it's a good thing that prepubescent girls can be married off and railed by their husbands. I guess female genital mutilation is also a good thing. Wouldn't want women to actually derive pleasure from sex, would we? Also, rape is only illegal if there are four male witnesses to testify to the rape. My issues with Sharia law have nothing to do with multiple wives, per say. It's barbaric, oppressive, and fucking pathetic. Women aren't really people under sharia law. Just baby factories and slaves.

Well stated Pez.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Pardon my ignorance... but under Sharia Law do the women have to be fully covered at all time while in public? Or is that something different?

 

[MassHavoc]

I'm not saying I believe in Sharia Law, but it still looks like you completely missed the point of my post.

 

[BigPete]

Another issue Mass is that if one guy marries just one woman and the man dies, then her home and posessions are given to his next of kin (not wife and not kids). That is a distatseful part of sharia law also.



What I like about Sharia law: there is no such thing as accrued interest on savings. 'Fake' monetary gains don't take place. This is a concept that any good capitalist would shit on. Consider though, how much 'wealth' has been created from doing nothing but simply keeping money in a savings account or CD. Where did that extra money come from? How is that not devaluing 'the dollar'? After all of the econ, accounting, and business classes I have taken I still can't figure that one out. Great idea by someone, but just so, I don't know, unethical or something.

I don't like much of anything about Sharia Law, all I was saying is if a man or a woman wants to marry more than one willing partner, I'm not sure what is with all the taboo fuss around that. As long as it's not forced, incestuous, underage, or otherwise illegal. Why exactly is it wrong? God? Tax Laws? Society Norms? Maybe it's too far off topic and shouldn't even be brought up here.

There is plenty wrong with Sharia Law and how it treats women, the only reason I bring up the plural marriage thing is because it was the lead argument used in the first post.

 

[LordKOTL]

Any time a single law is codified that comes from a religious directive, it is a bad thing. When a whole system of laws is based on it it's clusterfuckery made real.

I wasnt saying there was anything wrong with it if multiple consenting adults want to do it. But in sharia law essentially, A woman has no say if the man wants to get another wife, thats the problem, and divorce is not an option.



Basically by the institution of this marriage law the man can essentially do whatever the hell they want in this regard. Its not like the wife can take on more husbands at will.

Yeah I read that part, I guess my comments should have been in an entirely different thread that doesn't exist. So as to not confuse it with support of the abuse of woman and children.

You get a +1 just for using the word clusterfuckery
