And who supports the children of these 'enjoyment' marriages? I've never heard of a more selfish setup in my life. Hideous idea, these rentawives, they're nothing more than pay-wives. You've heard of pay-telephones? They're pay-wives, kind of like the Johnny Chung subway. Yet these Shiites are the very puritans who call the West decadent.

In a mutaa arrangement, the woman is entitled to payment only for the duration of the marriage Sounds good to me.

That's a lot less than they get for essentially the same kind of arrangement over here.

As my seven term County District Attorney so eloquently puts it, "we all pay for sex."

Prostitution by any other name is still prostitution. And here I thought that such things didnt happen in the pure religion of Islam
silly me.

This is a big practice among the Shi'ites of Iran.

Thus began their "mutaa," or enjoyment marriage, a temporary union believed by Shiite Muslims to be sanctioned by Islamic law.Translation: Modesty of women must be preserved and protected above all things!
......until the guy wants a warm place to put it.

Wouldn't surprise me that this arrangement is common among Muslim men in the West with wives back in the homeland.

I guess "I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you" is easier to say that "do you need me to call you cab?"

"we all pay for sex."Ain't that the truth, for men. After my divorce, I estimated the total marital sex, divided that into what the divorce cost me, and concluded that I should have clearly used pay-as-you-go.

Why is there a "need" for such a temporary arrangement, when an Islamic man can marry up to four women, and can divorce any or all of them simply by saying "I divorce you", a certain number of times?
Compared to that, these women get a good deal, at least they get paid, and probably can break the "contract" if the so called "man" beats them.
Of course I don't imagine being party to such an arrangement does much for the woman's possibility of a more permanent type arrangement. Maybe as wife #4 or something.

I have a single co-worker that spends a lot of time in Brazil. He told me that he doesn't pay women for sex...he pays them to leave after sex.
