You can link to the article by Nadya Labi here or get the magazine on the news-stand. the article is called MARRIED FOR A MINUTE and it is about temporary marriage - or religious prostitution, depending on how you see it. A man gets a temporary marriage contract with a woman even though he may be married. He can have more than one marriage at a time.

Nadya Labi is the author. This article appears in the current March/April 2010 MOTHER JONES magazine.
