Misyar
» Sex Laws
Marriage-light or another means of turning a woman into a mere sex machine? Certainly an interesting way of getting around strict Islamic laws governing sex and marriage.
In regular marriages in Saudi Arabia, men must pay for expensive ceremonies, huge dowries and a home. If the couple divorce, he must pay alimony and child support.
So misyar appeals to men of reduced means, as well as men looking for a flexible arrangement — the husband can walk away from a misyar and can marry other women without informing his first wife.
Wealthy Muslims sometimes contract misyar when on holiday to allow them to have sexual relations without breaching the tenets of their faith.

Just another way that a manmade religion can be manipulated so that women can be used as sex objects. I don’t understand why women can’t have more then one husband? I personally think alot of us could and would enjoy that.
