The significance of married life is great. Fortunate indeed is that couple who starts married life with right understanding of its importance and greatness. Marriage is a sacred spiritual partnership between two souls who have come upon this earth to evolve an ideal life of nobility, virtue and Dharma (social custom in Hinduism) and attain their goal of divine perfection through such ideal life. Therefore, the home of a married couple is a sanctified centre of spiritual life. The home is their place of worship, prayer and daily meditation. It is truly said that the marriages are made in heaven. Sex is not everything in a marriage.

The home is a sacred arena for the attainment of self-conquest and self-mastery which is more thrilling than conquering a monarchy. Blessed are those couples who lead this divine life, where truth, purity and universal love, mutual trust and compassion constitute the basic foundation of such divine life. Such a house is the abode of God. People may visit such a sacred place for pilgrimage.

What's hidden behind the veil of Islamic marriage? 

Nasrin (2007) lamented:

“Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”

 

 

 Treat women well for they are like domestic animals

As per Sunaan Abu Dawud 11.2155; Women, slaves and camels are same; must seek Allah's refuge from all these. Muhammad’s teaching was too great. During 2007, a man (of forty years) from Afghanistan first shaved his wife Nazia’s (of seventeen years) head and then cut off her ears, and nose and broke her teeth with a stone, knocked her down and beat her severely until her hands and legs were broken and burnt her feet with boiling water while she fainted, on the first day of Eid ul Adha, an Islamic ritual of sacrifice. Nazia is his second wife. He already killed his first wife. (Hairan, 2007; IRIN, 2007). This is how some Muslims celebrate Eid festival; sacrificing own wife in place of a camel. Camels are costly but women are cheap.

In Urdu, women are called ‘aurat’ (عورت), which came from the Arabic word ‘awrah’ (عورة). The Arabic word refers to the genitals of a woman’s body, in a simple and straightforward word, which is called the ‘vagina’. It means, the entire body of a Muslim woman is a huge vagina and nothing else (Warraq, 2005. p. 316). How many Urdu speaking Asian Muslims know this fact that for referring their mothers, sisters and daughters, they use a word which actually degrades their women folks?

‘Nikah’ (Muslim marriage, النكاح) is an Arabic word whose literal meaning is penetration (Kaleeby, 2002; Warraq, 2005). It can be pronounced as ‘Nokh’, which again means the ‘awrah’, the giant vagina, i.e, the entire body of a Muslim woman. When the word ‘Nikah’ is used to mean marriage, the actual meaning is not marriage but literally ‘sexual penetration’. Ignorant Muslims often use these words, without knowing their actual meaning and degrade their woman folks to the level of sex-slaves and cheap highway prostitutes.

Kasem (n. d) concluded that the method of securing such sexual / physical pleasure is very similar to a commercial / business transaction. In plain language, this is called prostitution. In all cases of marriage and sex, the women are treated merely as sex-objects, much like the provider of a service for which she must be paid some compensation.  

The compensation (dower) for sexual service of the wife is known as ‘mahr’, which all Muslim men must agree to pay before marriage. It can be immediate or deferred to a future date. No Islamic marriage is valid without the payment of ‘mahr’. Sometimes, Muslim women take keen pride in the sums paid for them as ‘mahr’ without knowing the actual purpose of it. In reality, however, ‘mahr’ is nothing but the payment to purchase a female body for sexual enjoyment. This degradation is sanctioned by Allah in ‘Sha’ria’ (the divine law of Allah). So when a Muslim marries off his sister or daughter to another Muslim family, he actually auctions his sister’s or daughter’s soft and warm vagina for a quick financial profit. If the ‘mahr’ is not sufficient, then as per ‘Sha’ria’ Law, the marriage can be cancelled. Often the wife does not get to use the ‘mahr’ for herself. This money is used to furnish the house of the newly married couple or her father grabs the entire amount (Warraq, 2005, p. 311). In an Islamic marriage, there is hardly a trace of romantic love. One rarely finds love poetry in their marriage songs.

Kasem (n. d) furthermore lamented taking reference from an authentic ‘Sha’ria’ Law book, that the husband’s rights include but not limited to:

“Yes, you read it correctly. The meaning of ‘Genitalia arvum Mulieris’ is woman’s vagina. The above few sentences clearly meant that a woman sells her vagina in return for the dower. This is a commercial transaction. Make no mistake about it! Period.’’

It is tragic, but Muslim women very often do not realize what marriage they get themselves into.

Oh, and the Sunnis have even bettar marriage than mutah. It's called misyar marriage.  

How many Indian Muslims know these Mullah activities in Hyderabad ? The tragedy is that, Mullahs, the ‘keepers’ of Islam are also the biggest ‘exploiters’ of Islam. Mullahs make money at the cost of the pride of common Muslim’s daughters and sisters.

In Islam, even the breast-milk of a woman does not belong to her and the husband (who purchased her with ‘mahr’) has the lawful right on it. If the adult husband forcefully drinks the milk of his wife under ‘Sha’ria’, the milk is treated as a food and not as foster milk. According to Malik’s Muwatta (Book 30, Number 30.1.11), "Suckling…after the first two years, little or much, it does not make anything haram. It is like food." As per another Hadith from Malik’s Muwatta (Book 30, Number 30.2.14), a Muslim man is divinely allowed to drink his wife’s milk (or, multiple wives’ milk on choice and test) regularly and still can remain her sex-partner (Truly, a Muslim has a lot of advantages over non-Muslims!). This is the height of stupidity in Allah’s divine law.

Few years ago AIMPLB (All India Muslim Personal Law Board) had formulated the Muslim marriage law. But there were no woman in the board (Sheikh, 2005). In a civilized society, this is unthinkable but in Muslim world it is natural. The “halal meat” of a woman’s body has no individuality, no identity of its own.

As per Sha’ria, a woman can be married at any age even when she is a newly born baby. Khomeini said:

"A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby” (Paz, 2006).

Now the question is, how these people did manage to have so many wives, when only four are sanctioned to each of them. It is very simple, only a little manipulation is required. Allah said in Koran (4:3):

“Marry what seems good to you of women, by twos, threes or fours”.

‘Prevent the women from learning to write! Say no to their capricious ways’. And again ‘Impose nudity on women, because cloths are one reason for leaving the house’ (Warraq, 2005, p 299).

“her winsome childhood earned a few years of love, but at seven or eight she was married off to any youth of the clan whose father would offer the purchase price for the bride … she formed the part of the estate of her father, her husband, or her son and was bequeathed with it; she was always the servant, rarely the comrade, of the man. He demanded many children of her, or rather many sons; her duty was to produce warriors. She was in many cases, but one of his many wives. He could dismiss of her at any time at will.”

“Let these women be warned, we will tear them to pieces. We will give them such terrible punishments that no one in the future will dare to raise a voice against Islam.” (cited Warraq, 2005. p. 321)

Muslim women should not have cultural interests beyond their blind and routine devotions - Yes we're all individuals!

Some medieval theologians thought that Muhammad had invented polygamy, but it is not true, because it antedated Islam by some years (Durant, 1954; p. 39). Muhammad legalized polygamy in his newly established religion and lowered the status of women to the level of prostitutes with divine sanction. As Ascha (1989) concluded:

“Hang up your whip where your wife can see it” (cited Warraq, 2005. p. 314).

‘The Prophet said - A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife’.

“even if the husband is a leper and the wife cleans the pus of his wounds with her tongue and swallows the pus, still she is not equal to her husband” (original in Bengali, translated by author).

In pre-Islamic Arabia women were free, happy and respectful. They used to take part in meetings, often attended in court of law with similar equality of man; run business (Khadija, the first wife of Muhammad was a business women and employed several men to look after her business); even fought many battles. Only under Islam they were animalized.

So, this is the status of married women under Islam. No doubt, a comparison of a legally married woman with prostitutes is unethical and of bad taste. It does not reflect well on the author. But, this article is not the product of a sick mind. Every bit of information on this article is true and taken from authentic sources. On the other hand, Muhammad’s and his followers ‘high regard’ for women points to the only conclusion that Islam cannot be a God approved religion. It is because; high status and respect of women and responsibility of a married couple towards each other, to the family and to the society in general; as taught in Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and other established religions; is totally absent in Islam. The plain truth is that, the God of Islam is an invented God. This God is actually a puppet and his only purpose is to legalize any crime in the name of religion. And, no doubt, this God is doing well in his job, ever since it was invented.

In general a Muslim’s attitude towards ‘sex’ is almost same as that of an animal. Marriage is never a sacrament with him; it is frankly a commercial transaction. It never occurs to him to be ashamed that he treats women as prostitutes or animals; he would rather be ashamed of the opposite.

In Islamic nations, much of the married women’s work remains unrecognized and unvalued. Women are constantly under the threat of divorce (Azad, 1995). Often they don’t get enough food to eat from their husbands. In Bangladesh, seventy-seven percent of married women from middle income households and more than ninety-five percent of those from low income households are underweight and malnourished (UNDP, 1995). On top of this, their contribution to the family often goes unnoticed. In Sudan the time spent for gathering fuel wood has increased fourfold in a decade, which is the duty of a woman. In Mozambique, women spent more than fifteen hours a week just for collecting water for the family (UNPD, 1995). Some Afghani women are compelled to go for grazing around the mountain valleys looking for a blade of grass to feed themselves and their children (Sina, 2001). A recent UN report disclosed that women in Saudi Arabia are the victims of systematic and pervasive discrimination across all aspects of social life (Times, 2008). In Islamic nations, more girls than boys die at young age. Birth of a girl is still seen as a disaster in Muslim societies. Women, who constitute half the global population, definitely deserve a better deal.
 
Islam seeks power, promotes hate and domination in the name of an imaginary God. In a civilized society, charity begins at home, but in Islamic society; hate and domination begin at home. Probably prostitutes are in a better position than those helpless ‘animals’ called ‘Muslim women’. The greatest task of moral is always sexual regulation. A sense of family value is observed amongst many animals also. Mother is the first ‘Guru’ (spiritual guide) for a child. The child learns the alphabet from his mother. The child learns to speak from his mother. She may make him a saint or a ruler or a rogue. She imparts her virtues to her child with her milk. No society can progress unless their women folks are educated and free. Muslim women should be given education and liberty and then they will bring the required revisions for their betterment. No need for so-called intellectual Muslims to shed endless crocodile tears to try to fool the civilized world. It’s a pity that the Muslims are too spiritually deprived to ever realize this fact.

Oswald: Marriage

Sujit Das, what a wonderful uplifting opening and then the depraved view that Islam fosters on its followers despite the pretense that the retard in today's Australian Australian swallowed. It became too depressing to read in one sitting. A marriage to be Good and True must reflect something of the Divine if it is a marriage and that is the marriage of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom with Divine Use as its progeny. I understand this is what Bhakti, Jana and Karmic are about, as also the Christian Trinity. There is no possibility of the Divine being incorporated into marriage viewed as religiously sanctioned prostitution, or polygamous marriages. It is between one Man and one Woman living One life.

Philip Saenz: Thanks http://islammonitor.org

Thank you again Sujit Das.

That scumbag Kohmeini was lower than any animal on earth. Not even wild animals of the jungle have sex with their newly born offspring. That monster was satanic to the core. It's beyond me how any Muslim can honor scumbag Kohmeini unless they, too, are scumbags. Sujit Das, how can anyone have respect for Islam after all you have revealed about Muslim "marriages"? It's incredible. You showed proof by showing pictures. So how can anyone argue?

I really feel for women and little girls, and also little boys, who are maltreated so unjustly in Third World Muslim Countries. When will it all end? I can see everyday that the worst enemy is Islam, and evil Muslim male animals, who promote and perpetuate this insidious evil. We must destroy these evil Muslim animals that are preying on helpless women, little girls, and little boys. When I say "boys," I'm thinking of the camel children, who are brutally maltreated by grown Muslim male animals.

“Here [Bangladesh], there are single rapes and multiple rapes. Here; father rapes daughter, son-in-law rapes mother-in-law … top executive rapes sweeper of his office, teacher rapes girl student, Imam rapes the kindergarten girl, brother-in-law rapes the sister-in-law, father-in-law rapes daughter-in-law”.

So, here's a good idea...... let's bring more of these enlightened people to live in Australia!
Thank God for water shortages and other demographic/geographic problems that beset our sunburnt land. These natural elements will (eventually) force even the rabid "melting pot" fools to cease the nonsense of immigration en masseand with no regard for culture compatibility.
I've said it many times, but I think it bears repeating; multi does not mean omni In relation to culture, some are toxic.
What a fool I must be, expecting the Department of Immigration to be able to discern that!

Sujit Das - this is a very important document, and you are to be commended and thanked for putting it before the Australian people, but I feel ill, having read it. Such depraved attitudes have no place in our nation, yet we are beset by people clamoring for the introduction of muslim marriage laws! Worse, we have Australian appeasers willing to enable this travesty.
My consolations come from imagining people like Sue Carlan/Aly enjoying the full rights of a
muslim wife. She deserves it all.

Abu Taleb: ...

Yes, I quite agree with the title, the legal marriage in Islam can be considered as a legalized prostitution with the women become the victim of Islam. Islam does treat women as prostitutes.

While mahr (dowry) exists in many cultures, Islam makes it as a payment for the lgeal access of the woman's body and doesn't consider dowry as a marriage token like a wedding ring in western culture.

We can see that dowry is only a payment for the woman's body from the divorce case. In Islamic divorce, the woman can keep the dowry and get nothing. The woman has the right to keep the dowry because her husband has had sex with her, if he has not had sex, then he does not have to pay the dowry, at least in full term.

There is a fatwa (or hadith, I don't remember) that says if a man has sex with a woman by mistake because he thinks she is his wife, then he has to pay the dowry. Very much like sleeping with a pro, right?

Btw, the maximum value for the dowry should not more than what Mo had paid for which was 400 dirhams, I estimate it is about 2-300 USD in current value. With that much money, a muslim can have sex any time in an unlimited number and can treat his wife the way he likes, it is much much much cheaper to have a wife than go to a pro. This is how Islam values women.

Circe: ...

The hadith tell us that Mohammad allowed men to marry women for nothing at all, or for quotes from the koran or a handfull of dates....ie he handed women over for use by men regardless.

When a woman complained of the way her husband used her Mohammad brought down his famous revelation from allah---woman are as your field, you may plough/go unto your field as you wish.(koran 2.223)...and totally ignored the woman's anguish!

Yes, you have painted a true picture of Islam and the consequences for women---unbelievable loathing and violence.

I have Hindu friends and have attended a Hindu wedding and was srtuck by the high status of women revealed in the ceremony. This can never be the case in Islam as you so clearly point out!!

Geoff Dickson: ...

Sujit,
What a powerful article, and one that I had trouble reading because every instinct I have tells me that Islam is so evil.
It is tragic that our politians dont seem to understand how oppressive Islam is to women, so I am going to send copies of this article to our dhimmi leaders (including my mate Laurie Ferguson).

I actually experienced dissonance reading this as I have just finished reading 2 books that we were given at the Yusuf Estes lecture, both printed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (of course).

1. Muhammed The Messenger of Allah
2. The Key to Understanding Islam

I quote:
"the Messenger of Islam is the greatest and most mature man in history" Profesor Hasan Ali.
"women are equal to men..
in their humanity, in regards to reward and punishment, in their right to inheritance etc"

And a quote on page 86 from Prince Charles, the defender of faith(s) in the UK:-
"Islam can teach us today a way of understanding and living in the world which Christianity itself is poorer for having lost. Islam refuses to separate man and nature, religion and science, mind and matter". What planet is he on!

A silly question perhaps.
With men having from 4 to hundreds of wives, plus concubines, plus traveler marriages etc., where do all the women come from?
Are there not equal numbers of men and women?

Cassandra: ...

Sujit,

A truly moving account of the sacred nature of a Hindu marriage. In most religions, marriage is a spiritual union entered into for the benefit of both partners, as well as society in general.

How shocking therefore to read of the nature of marriage under Islam, where the women is just an object to be bargained for, and when married, can be used according to the husband's sexual and other needs, and then discarded when no longer useful.

How revolting to most decent people is this abuse of women under Islam. And yet we hear no voices raised up, no indignant feminists nor human rights activists.

Where are these voices? Busy railing against the iniquities of the West no doubt, but totally silent about the atrocities taking place daily in Islamic countries, and even among Muslims in the West.

What hypocrisy. When will these faux feminists and human rights advocates be exposed for the frauds they are?

Hugo White: ...

Sujit,

This is a sober and well-researched piece on the horrors of Islam for women. It threw into sharp relief the views of the silly Ms Smith in the article that Oswald pointed out in today's Australian. Maybe she was just young and stupid, but Ms Smith converted to Islam because she thought she would be treated well as a wife, unlike what she claimed would be her fate at the hands of an Aussie husband, who would come home drunk and beat and rape her.Strange how Muslim men don't need alcohol in order to beat and rape their women!

Funny how quickly she hot-footed it away from her in-laws' home in an Islamic country and accepted our government's offer to bring her back to Australia.

Maybe she was beginning to realise that Islam wasn't all it was hyped up as being.

"the Messenger of Islam is the greatest and most mature man in history"

This statement servers as a great testimony confirming that Islamic ethics are non-existent .

Cassandra: ...

Geoff,

If Prince Charles becomes King, I shall vote for a Republic. It is reputed that he has secretly converted to Islam. He certainly has a huge admiration for it - maybe because he is such a petulant inadequate man of little talent who has wasted his life. Islam would give him a status and sense of importance which he lacks.

I believe that's why nobodies like Dawood Hicks, Richard Reid and other scumbags are attracted to Islam. That, plus the permission to indulge in unbridled violence and depravity.

jetabler: ... http://faithfreedom.org

Actually, Philip Saenz, I would argue that, while Khomeini was an incredibly depraved animal, he was actually the most decent Muslim leader since Islam's inception because he was HONEST. If you read his Little Green Book of crazy-ass sayings, it's clear that he was completely honest. All Muslims believe that sick craziness, but at least Khomeini was real about it. Bless hi heart, because it gives a fantastic glimpse into the Islamic mindset, and it also serves to undermine the most classic taqiyya line, namely that taqiyya is a Shi'ite thing, when in reality Sunnis are just as likely to engage in it, if not more so. Access his little book of sickness here: http://www.prophetofdoom.net/T...Book.Islam . It's messed-up as hell, but it's incredibly very, very real.

And while I completely agree with you that these women are horribly victimized, they are also very dangerous. Being raised in and spending one's life in an atmosphere like the ones Sujit describes breeds malignant narcissism, which is an incredibly dangerous and incurable mental illness. The reason Muslim men grow up to be like they do is because of their malignantly narcissistic mothers who encourage and foster it, combined with gender apartheid, which only further facilitates it and leads to a mental association between women/sexuality and evil/dirtiness, and of course the Koran and the Hadith only serve to pound this into their heads and validate these sick beliefs/feelings. The women buy into it as much as the men. That's how the whole cycle comes to perpetuate itself. It's not like Muslim fathers ever take an active role in child-rearing. The women are to blame just as much as the men. Ever met a Muslim woman who wasn't a malignantly narcissistic cult member suffering from Stockholm Syndrome who wasn't willing to defend her abominable treatment, her totalitarian Nazi death-cult, the fact that she's been reduced to a parasitic sex slave baby factory, and the Dark-Age Nazi prostitute rag/symbol of slavery and genocide on her head? Me neither. Muslimas are what they consider to be 'happy.' They by and large believe that it is the natural order of things to be reduced to a prostitute tapeworms. They never enjoy even monkey status, since monkeys have an equivalent of an economy, the jungle ecosystem, which they do their part to keep in a constant state of flux rather than just bleeding the system and giving nothing back. Monkeys grow up to be well-adjusted, self-sufficient adults, and then they raise their children to be well-adjusted, self-sufficient adults. Muslim women never achieve this degree of humanity and they are overwhelmingly quite proud of that. Yes, they are victims, but they are also their own 2nd-worst enemy. Yes, Muslim men are to blame, but so are Muslim women, and ultimately Islam itself. We're not talking about people. We're talking about brainwashed zombie cult members.
