Doesn't that make sense?  |
You can use that as an example, but in fact we all know the difference is not going to be age but wealth. After all men want to marry young girls, not older women. So it will be a case of richer older men marrying younger girls whose families need the money.
Either that or a way for young Muslims to be Westernised and "date" while remaining within the bounds of Islamic law. I just do not understand it at all and I may be wrong about why they are doing it.
