"the temporary marriage" part of my previous post has still occupied my mind!
i was thinking no matter how much most of the clerics, esp. the extreme hardliners, have tried to impose the idea of temporary marriage on ordinary people these past years; they've been kinda failed every time. they've been rejected by not only the intellectuals but the very ordinary people as well.
(not to mention that the issue is brought up recklessly enough from time to time, just to test the overall reaction of the people!)
i mean many of even the most religious people can't accept to have their daughters/sons get involved in such a "shame". (yes, it's still a taboo among the people!)
temporary marriage hasn't been yet one of those cultural norms they've tried to inject into the religious/superstitious structure of the social/individual culture in
however, i think what they are trying to do is first to "normalize" it for the general public or at least make people "desensitize" to it, then simply "legalize" it when it comes to it, as if it's not but a great favor to people.
it reminds me of the time when people here were asking one another: does the govt. try to "legalize" marijuana?! what the hell ...??!!!
and another would reply: no, come on! they are just "decriminiz"ing it! well, just carrying a small amount of it. u know some people have to use it as a medication...
