Dear Talib and others who have wondered about sex and marriage in Islam, I just finished reading the new compilation of progressive articles by Muslims, (ital) Progressive Muslims (end ital) edited by Omid Safi, and it has a terrifically good article on marriage in Islam by Kecia Ali who read all the original source materials from fiqh and it's pretty exhaustive, I would imagine you would learn all you would need to know about men's and women's rights and duties in marriage under the 4 sunni schools. It's also well-written and relatively easy to read (for a scholarly article). From the same book I recommend Scott Kugle's article on homosexuality. It's really well-researched and also well-written. Best, Anna Ghonim _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
