Moreover, as a religious researcher and social scientist, I wonder how the distinctions between contract and covenantal marriage are handled in Islam and other faiths, such as Buddhism and Hinduism. Is this distinction peculiar to Christian societies or is it present in Judaism and other faiths elsewhere today?
Just this past week, one Christian fascis t on FOX News charged that Tiger Wood's Buddhism has led to unfaithfulness in marriage. Is this fact or fiction?
Likewise the Shia Muslim male who currently marries a bride for only 24 or 48 hours to have sex (and then quickly divorces her) in Kuwait or Iran is certainly not interested in marriage covenants, but is this practice and attitude representative of most Muslim's faith and concepts of marriage today? (I think not. I have met many strong and good families with important and healthy communication amongst husband and wife in Muslim households over the years.)
