Should marriage be a lifelong commitment?

<< < (16/17) > >>

Alpha:
If it's not "HOLY", then what is it? Marriage is social, legal, (okay) but it's also traditional and cultural. It evolved, okay, but it evolved from religion itself. From mere beliefs.

It's not just a piece of paper. Nor a mere process, I disagree. Some people who marry because it is 'normal' to do so really act baseless. Like eating without knowing what they eat.

Saladin:
precisely alpha.

infact, for muslims, it is a must to marry, and the marrige has to be a good one, and accepted by parents, like all the important stuff.

Alpha:
And it's also a must for these marriages to last for a lifetime.  :)

$tyli$h Executive:
Debating about religion is forbidden but I must correct you guys that for muslims, a man can marry up to 4 wives if he has the financial ability to handle them all. Therefore, there is no question of any compulsory lifelong commitment. In other words, it recognises the need for the absence of any absurd lifelong commitment. This is, of course, very logical, according to my opinion and logic as I explained earlier. It is necessary to keep both men and women happy and for them, to lead a flexible and peaceful life.

Guys, remember that this is not a debate about religion. I just wrote this message to correct you.

Alpha:
Correction as well…

Muslim men are allowed to marry four times, provided that their present wife/ wives do not object to it, and provided they have the capacity (financial and moral) to manage all the households indiscriminately. They are NOT supposed to break their commitments with the first wife only on the basis of a sudden hysterical urge to remarry. Besides, the prime reasons why polygyny was allowed were to help the desperate women in society (widows, poor, slaves…) and to maintain the lineage (in case the woman could not give birth).
