In what has to be one of the funnier edicts in the religion of Islam, a former dean of law at Al Azhar University, Rashad Hassan Khalil has decreed that full nudity during the act of copulation, with a spouse no less, invalidates the marriage!

Well, looking at some women (since I am a man - you women can use your own anecdotes), I think that looking at some of them fully nude would turn me off of sex, but invalidate a marriage?  Please!  They married each other to begin with, so they had to have something there.  And performing an act for the procreation of children can be performed in the dark if you dont want to see some things!  But clothes do tend to get in the way of, um, you know, that thing! "Honey, can you move your burka a little to the left for me?  Thanks!"

Fortunately, his former colleagues are not in agreement with this Mullah, and have rejected his Fatwa.  Still, remaining clothed during the act of love making can have its advantages.  Like not getting pregnant, reducing the risk of STDs, among other things I guess.

But this fatwa is not going to convince me to convert to Islam ANYTIME in the future.
