Wife for hire or "Marriage for an hour".
'Marriage for an Hour' Ceremony Becomes Hit Among Muslims Living in Europe
Some may be put off by the pharisaical aura of this phenomenon, but a London escort named Camilla, who has been dubbed the “Muslim Kim Kardashian” on social media for her curvaceous figure, has seen interesting business prospects in nikah-ul-mut’ah and made the “wife for an hour” service her specialty. Because marriage, even if short-term, is a godly thing, and sex outside the family is haram.
For one hour in the company of an escort service employee, a man will have to pay 450 dollars. And for another 100 dollars, the girl is ready to provide an unusual option: a temporary marriage. Thus, Muslim clients will not have to suffer pangs of conscience because they committed haram (sin) by using the services of a call girl.
As with the conclusion of a permanent marriage, a special marriage formula is read to legitimize temporary marital relations, which differs from the formula for a permanent marriage only in its indication of the duration of the union.
While adherents of conflicting branches of Islam argue about whether it is possible or not to marry for an hour, Camilla has become a real trendsetter: she has 80 thousand followers on Twitter, who never tire of admiring the girl’s resourcefulness and, of course, her beauty. In the pictures, the sex industry worker always wears a hijab, which does not prevent her from being half-naked. In one of the photo shoots, Camilla was clearly inspired by the well-known pictures of Kim Kardashian: in it, the representative of the first oldest profession demonstrates the expressive curves of her naked hips and buttocks.
Camille's mother is from Iraq, her father is from Iran. Where they live and what their attitude is towards their daughter's occupation is unknown.
In Britain, the resourceful woman has no shortage of Muslim clients: "Allahu Akbar! It was the best nikkah-ul-mut'a of my life," one of the Arab beauty's clients wrote online.
The only thing Kamilla worries about is that her competitors will copy her business idea. She believes that girls from Eastern Europe, for example, who work in the same field, are quite capable of also pretending to be Muslim to lure away her clients.
Overall, the Londoner is pleased with her innovation. As Camilla explained, one of her clients from Saudi Arabia, who was previously a Sunni, became a Shiite specifically so that he could temporarily marry her without taking any sin on his soul.
"He spent two months in London, and I was his wife the whole time. I lived with him, I wasn't allowed to be with other men. He paid me very generously. He'll come again next year. Many Arabs do that."
I would like to meet someone for a serious relationship for an hour.
Young European Muslims resort to the help of a one-hour marriage not only when turning to priestesses of love, but also in cases when they want to date a girl, but do not yet intend to marry her for real. Boyfriends and girlfriends are forbidden in Islam, so young couples enter into temporary unions. According to the rules of Sharia, when the term of nikah-ul-mut'a expires, the marriage can be extended again. And then again and again.
On the website MutahMatch.com young Muslims are looking for temporary soulmates. However, the ads there are mostly from men. There is a clear shortage of free-thinking girls.
"Nikah-ul-mut'ah is on the rise," says Omar Farooq Khan, former president of the Islamic Society at Bradford University. "Students are educated people, so naturally they seek and find solutions to their problems according to the rules of Islam. What else can they do - take a cold shower?"
