Fractured Fiqh: How to have a Second Husband (now)

Posted August 21st, 2006 by Laury Silvers

I just realized in a flash of brilliance how a woman can have more than one husband in Islam! Temporary Marriage! If she's got a set schedule with them, she can make each contracted period end before the next one arrives.

Now if I were to become a second wife, I would insist on this sort of thing.

As the fairy tale goes, what is good for the golden goose is….wait how does it go?

*This is part of the "fractured" series and is meant to be taken lightly, as a joke even, with a bit of deeper meaning to be found at its heart. The fractured series is based on "Fractured Fairy Tales" from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way (or is it fortunately?) It’d also be a pain in the ass considering it’d just be serial (seriel? shit) monogamy, and you’d have to wait a month and a half between end of last and beginning of next….

My God, why would anyone

My God, why would anyone want two husbands? Or two wives, for that matter?

No waiting with temporary marriage, Leila.

Remember this is fractured fiqh!

Flounder? I only like sole!

Because (for some) it’s fun for all! Especially if you can manage to get rid of all that patriarchy baggage.
