quote[The 1,400-year-old practice of muta'a- "ecstasy" in Arabic - is as old as Islam itself. It was permitted by the prophet Mohammed as a way to ensure a respectable means of income for widowed women.]
Considering that a 26 year old woman in Afghanistan was stoned to death earlier this week for premarital relations, I find this interesting.
I guess it just goes to show that the rules of any religion can be bent towards whatever will is desired - especially when that will is of those that are uniquely qualified to interpret the religion: men.
