Quoted by Ziba Mir-Hosseini in volume five of Voices of Islam, pp. 85-113|Marriage etymologically is uniting one thing with another thing; it is also said to mean '''coitus and to mean sexual intercourse''' … it has been said that it is '''a contract whose object is that of dominion over the vagina''', without the right of its possession. It has also been said that it is a verbal contract that first establishes the right to sexual intercourse, that is to say: it is not like buying a female slave when the man acquires the right of intercourse as a consequence of the possession of the slave.}} | |||
