Play: Choose the Correct Curse, I Mean Verse, In the Quran

Play Choose the Verse (and sura): First, you must imagine you're a faithful Muslim, and as the man in the family, you're responsible for the moral behavior of the women you're related to. In keeping with this age old tradition, you must choose the correct sura in the Quran to appropriately punish your charges should they shame your proud name and honor.

1.) Have a spare wife you want to get rid of, and you hate her enough to want to punish her for the rest of her life? Don't bother with divorce, accuse her of lewdness. Imprison her in solitary confinement, never to hear another human voice or ever have contact with another person until she goes insane and dies! All you need are 4 good buddies to concur that she is indeed guilty of lewdness...or you just have to swear it's true.

Choose the sura: a.) Sura XXIV, 60 b.) Sura IV, 11 c.) Sura IV, 15

If you chose a or b, you shall never enter Paradise, you vile infidel! Every good Muslim knows the answer is c. *Sura IV, 15:  If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four witnesses among you, Against them; and if they testify, CONFINE THEM TO HOUSES UNTIL DEATH DO CLAIM THEM.

2.) Follow up to number 1. You have accused your wife of lewdness, but you have no witnesses willing to support your accusations. Not a problem, choose the sura that will get you out of this sticky situation a.) Sura XXIV, 6 b.) Sura III, 3 c.) Sura II, 220

If you chose b or c, you're the son of a mangy camel! Every good Muslim man knows the Quran guarantees that if no "witnesses" can be found, just the word of the man is good enough in its book. *Sura XXIV, 6: And for those who launch accusations against their spouses and have no evidence but their own, Their solitary evidence can be received if they bear witness four times With an oath by Allah, That they are solemnly telling the Truth.

3.) After disposing of that pesky wife (above), you still have 3 more. One is young and beautiful, so you don't really want to get rid of her, but she CAN be a pain. Didn't she just yesterday suggest that you take Mohammed Blvd. instead of Allah Way as a shortcut to the bazaar? How dare she?

Choose the correct verse to support your discipline regimen. a.) Sura II, 241 b.) Sura III,3 c.) Sura  IV, 34

I know all you faithful Muslim men got this one right. Obviously it's c. *Sura IV, 34:  As to those women on whose part ye do fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, Admonish them, Refuse to share their beds, and beat them; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means of annoyance...

Thank you for playing Choose the Curse.
