A Muslim can marry 4 wives, why should they talk about virgin? that's definite sexism!

Hey, come on, that's only because the government wants to keep two people being married longer.
And normally, (however, among the muslims I know) they don't marry so many wifes.
Maybe they think about us: We can split up again and again, why should we marry?

It only matters from whiczh point of view you see it.

It is too stereotypical, mawkish, and sentimental for my taste.

Yes, very right! Very Happy I lost Very Happy Perhaps I should really let the muslim guys here to explain.

Ok, another point:
The government wants to keep the marriage longer because muslim families have more children than european ones (About 10) and the woman is dependent on the haspent to earn money and so a lot of hungry chidren and women would be there and therefore a lot of poverty would be spreading in this country and it will fastly turn poorer than the 3rd world.

These things are so romantic! Hmm, let's see...

I said I love you, you don't hear. But still we are standing together at the evening, like shadows in front of a mystic river, hoping that the sun will never go down.
