Addi, as promised, continuing my response to the posting in the link you provided…
this time, the issue is Sex & Marriage
The referenced verse (4:3) begins by addressing the issue of orphans… “And if you feared that you will not be just to the orphans”… to the part where it says, that one may marry two, three or four wives… so again, the translation is taking it out of context… and I addressed the issue before on the conditions and wisdom of the Quran of allowing the man to marry more than one wife...
The referenced verse (2:223) begins addressing men that their wives are your partners to have children…. I am not going to use the word used in the translation in the posting because I don't know its meaning and am not going to make an assumption… which you say means a field to be ploughed… well, I wonder, if one is to plough a field, doesn’t that mean that he / she is trying to plant something to gain it’s fruits…! Then the posting goes on to suggesting that unnatural sex is allowed… if we keep in mind that the purpose is to have children (a field to be ploughed like the posting says, to plant and gain the fruits) then how can unnatural sex be allowed ? ... and again, I addressed this in previous postings...
remember this ... "in the animal kingdom, where fools reign and stupidity runs very high; common sense, which is not common to the common people, is always essential." ... so, apply some common sense Addi.
Now, about divorce… yes divorce is allowed in Islam… also, a woman can divorce her husband as well for infidelity, impotence, abuse… it's not only the man who can divorce the woman. Furthermore, a woman can reserve the right of unconditional divorce (if she so desires and the man agrees) and documents it in the marriage papers…. Having said all this, there is a saying attributed to the Prophet pbuh that divorce is the most hated of allowable in the eyes of God.
Now why would divorce in Islam bother anyone is beyond me…. it should be viewed as a last resort
Now to verse (2:230)… this should be viewed that divorce is a serious matter one has to consider extremely carefully before doing … and that if one is so reckless as to do it three times, he may not be able to remarry his ex-wife and he has to consider all that before a third divorce…. And that divorce should not be used as a threatening toy…
So, this is a word of caution to the person divorcing… again, why does that bother someone in Islam is beyond me…
again, I will try to continue my response later
