The Shia would say Mutah is the solution. I think marriage should be seen as a simple offer and acceptance when two people want to be together. Too many cultural issues. Just get on with life.

What happens when they split up? There must be some legal protections in place.

[@coachdebruyns]

Also, concubinage can be revisited within a modern context. Boy Friend and girl friend who decide they are together while ratifying the laws around being together, exclusivity, iddah, inheritance, etc... so offer and acceptance of marriage, mahr, iddah, inheritance.. khalas.

Great discussion. This issue needs to be addressed by the clergy.

The entire point of marriage is securing the child's right of a stable upbringing. Securing the woman's upbringing of the child becomes a byproduct of that. So essentially marriage is a contract that guarantees that. The guardians that guarantee that could be the parents or the state if the burden of welfare for a single parent falls on the state... is that not guardianship? Young people could have a marriage contract and not have children until their financial situations improve and they're mature enough to have children. A biological urge need not be considered evil but just take the necessary safety steps. Marriage contract simply dignifies the urge rather than just sleeping around catching diseases and putting yourself in compromising positions. It's just safety.

I think your spot on MALM this issue needs to be discussed and some sort of solution needs to be found.

I agree that we don't have solution to this emerging issues of sex before marriage or unhappy marriages etc. But Quran does talk about treating wife, husband with respect and love is something needs to be taught and cultivate from early age. Now cheating is another issue, it would be good if you talk about this in one of your next videos. Cheating even though you have a functional person still doesn't consider as a good thing to do, even if you are not married. I think your answer or opinion regarding this issue is biased and I wouldn't blame you for this as I am also thinking from women's point of view. Reason behind civil marriage is to protect women in general, men in general don't want to take responsibilities apart from having fun and leave women alone? State needs to protect them. Women are treated, even till now in a horrible way doesn't matter where they are from. If we don't put restrictions on mens reckless behaviour then UK will be like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India or countries where men can get away with anything. Again I know we don't have solutions to this problem but if we don't tackle issues like this then not long we will go back to the time where we kept women for just sexual pleasure. Also if sleeping around with too many men or women would be OK then it wouldn't hurt. This feelings are given by Allah Azzawajjal so we can't deny its harmful. Polygamy is a different thing as you also said its a issue. Allah says in Quran to be just with women and with marriage or without marriage men fails to do so. Mutuah is a wrong practice where men just marry a woman for a night as long as he is not doing that outside marriage. Marriage and even divorce is very significant change was revealed back in the day not just to protect women but also give rights to women, children etc. And in abusive relationship men can always walk out without paying consequences which will become a norm in the society that's not what Allah wants. Slaves, concubine that was a different time. You need to look aspects when talking about marriage or dating or etc.

You don't want even some responsibility for younger people in regards to marriage in the form of civil marriage? MALM. What do you think zina will be reduced or increased?

[@frblaze2]

well steroids are a theological issue as well... even in the UK where it is legal, unless you need for a medical reason, or if your job requires it (and even then I would argue you don't need to be in that job), steroids have side effects and health risks... most people agree that what negatively impacts health to that extent = haram... I don't see how using a gram of test or trenbolone could be halal... same as using drugs that don't necessarily drive you mad within the first few weeks... your health is a factor
