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.

I became curious about the meaning of the term muta, mentioned in another post.

I learned that it means a temporary marriage.

Here is a long detailed article on the practice of muta in, of all places, USATODAY
