This act can result in the abortion of the fetus, the killing of children and the termination of lineage. This is because, such women are never willing to foster their children; basically, the existence of children is a great impediment for them, hampering them from continuing their evil acts, and hence they constantly strive to get rid of them.

The practical failure of the absolutely absurd hypothesis – that these children can be gathered in institutions under the supervision of the government – has become plainly evident for it has been established that it is extremely difficult to foster fatherless and motherless children in this fashion. Besides, the result is often totally undesirable – nondescript, hardhearted and criminal children, lacking in everything! 5.

It should not be forgotten that the objective of marriage is not just to satiate sexual desire; rather, partnership in leading one’s life, spiritual intimacy, mental tranquillity, nurturing the children and collaboration in every aspect of life, are some of the effects of marriage – none of which are attainable without confining a man and a woman to each other and prohibiting other women.

In a tradition, Imam ‘Ali (a.s) says:(1) “I have heard the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a) say: “Fornication possesses six evil effects, three of which are (seen) in the world while three are (seen) in the Hereafter. As for those that are (seen) in this world: It robs away the purity and the illumination from man, severs his livelihood and hastens his end.

And those (seen) in the Hereafter are: The wrath of Allah, the severity of the Reckoning and the entry – or permanence of stay – in the fire of Hell.” (2) NOTES: ___________________ 1.
