Consequences aside, it’s also a huge indicator of how illogical arguments against Zina are if one was to permit Mut’ah. How can a Shia honestly talk about the immorality of the West? How can they even talk about the cons of a Western style relationship?
Example, can a Shia truly have any argument if he was to say an unmarried Western couple who’ve been together for 5 yrs with parental approval as in parents know about the couple and are happy for them are morally worse than a Shia man contracting a Mut’ah marriage with a woman who is hiding it from her family and since she’s not a virgin it’s technically ‘legal’ and she sleeps with him once and takes her ‘dowry’ and leaves after one night?
Out of the two, which relationship is more ethical?
How does that not ring alarm bells?
But my issue is, how does Mutah counteract that? It’s glorified Zina in a sense that it’s completely the same apart from as Shias would argue ‘God’s stamp’. Most young ladies who the men would want wouldn’t even be able to engage in it since:
No father would allow his daughter to be in Mut’ah marriage, hence what would happen is that only the very poor and the marginalized of women would mostly engage. Then there will be
underclass of women who whilst technically what they’re doing is seen as ‘halal’ the same men will
revile them since humans at their core know this is a lack of dignity. Why? Because even Shia sources believe that a virgin doing it is immoral as well. That alone highlights the hypocrisy here since men know this can be damaging to women
I’ve added a bit more on the last post but you might of missed it so I’ll add it here for you to see. This is how I view the idea of Mut’ah:
