Thinking with which Head?

Reading about some supposed "bright" people of the nation sometimes makes me wish I weren't Malaysian.

This Professor from the Islamic Studies Academy in Univeristy Malaya, has just gotten a bright spark of an idea and actually suggests to recognise misyar marriages. A misyar marriage is that the man doesn't need to support the women materially - no need to feed her, clothe her or shelter her. All he needs to do is provide for her sexual needs. This is in view of the increasing number of unmarried women in Malaysia. After all, this is already quite a common thing happening the rich in the Arab world.

Surprise, surprise, we get the Kelantan politician, who is known to comment profound things like "Only ugly women need to work because they won't be able to find a husband to support them", supports this notion whole-heartedly. He adds that Islam allows these kind of marriages with the condition that consent is obtained from the woman who is willing to enter such marriages.

They claim this will reduce vice in the country. It's obvious which head they are using to think.
