The explosive power of sexuality has one legitimate place: marriage. If at all... How can fulfilment be found? This is related by an Orthodox Jewish settler couple in Israel, a married Shi’ite Muslim man in Lebanon, a Catholic married couple in Germany and a Buddhist monk in Thailand.
In Islam, marriage is a contract, which in Shia Islam can be tempopary. This temporary marriage or "Nikah mut'ah" allows a man to get married with the consent of the Muslim religion for a limited amount of time. The union can last for a few hours, days or months. It's in fact an ancient Islamic pratice, and was designed to enable a man to have a wife for a short period when traveling long distances. However Sunni Muslims generally prohibit it, they critic this pratice to be a cover for prostitution or the exploitation of women, by allowing men taking on multiple wives for a limited time.
