That doesn't make any sense. Muslims don't believe sex with your husband keeps you from going to heaven. The whole point of the sham marriage is
to make it not 'rape'. Therefore, sham wedding, and sham honeymoon does not equal rape, and does not equal 'no heaven'.
I don't doubt that this happens
Win-Win-Win.
Well first of all it does happen, right or wrong, and it's not all that big of a secret just not publicized for the most part.
Your thinking too rationally here's what I make of it.
The girl is arrested for a crime but she is a virgin.
A virgin can not go to hell in this particular belief system.
So the man has to marry her and have sex with her.
The man marries here so he is not in sin for having sex with someone he's not married to.
Now if the girl is executed and is guilty of the crime they believe she will go to hell.
If the girl dies a virgin and is guilty of the crime she would go to heaven because virgins don't go to hell.
In this particular belief it has always stuck me that the anti-christ could be a female virgin and executed and according to this would go to heaven.
So kind of screwy maybe there's a loop-hole for that one but I haven't been made aware of it.
Edit I should add this is my own assumption of this with what I have read in the past and is clearly up to individual interpretation with the info
I've had at my disposal. I say this because I have researched quite a few religions and every time you think you know one something changes or
something new is brought to light.
