Monday, June 10, 2002"Since Muslim men's sperm cannot be impregnated with a woman who is not legally his wife, they have to marry for a limited period of time under a special religious dispensation (Siqeh Mahramiat). However, the father is not allowed to see his temporary wife, who actually functions as a host mother. The host mother cannot see her "guest baby" and it should be delivered immediately to its father. These unwritten social laws create a secure situation for infertile mothers in which they can have a child without losing their husbands.... ...Since mother's genetic features influence the baby, infertile couples always look for beautiful and smart host widow mothers. That can give rise to more problems. For, it is highly probable that a temporary marriage turns to a permanent one. Apart from the social stigma associated with IVF births, there are legal hurdles that need to be overcome by the prospective parents. Authorities have refused to issue birth certificate for babies born out of IVF method." So much for Islam as a tolerant and loving religion. posted by Sydney on 6/10/2002 06:41:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
