Description
Summary:The practice of a new kind of marriage called zawâdj-al-misyâr has spread in Muslim countries, among urban middle and upper classes. In Algeria, as in many Sunni countries, this form of marriage, which can be translated as “passerby’s marriage” is seen as a way to relax marital rules and adapt them to the reality of everyday life. Such a reinvention of tradition also appears as a concrete manifestation of the debates and struggles for leadership between Shi’ism and Sunnism. Indeed, like zawâdj al-mut`a (the famous Shiite « pleasure mariage »), the zawâdj-al-misyâr practice appears primarily as a way to live one’s sexuality in accordance with one’s (now obsessively) guilt-inducing beliefs and a thorny environment concerning the issue of lawful and unlawful.
