Why Interfaith And Homosexual Marriages Are Not Considered Adultery
Marriage is an open public announcement of entering into a life-long relationship between a man and a woman as husband and wife; as long as this requirem ent is being fulfilled, the application of adultery cannot apply. Marrying a polytheist is a voilation of one of the directives of Islam, just the way a Muslim during his lifetime violates any other directive of Islam. Similarly, same-sex couples are involved in Fawahish which is a sin, but it cannnot be equated with adultery ( Zina ); adultery ( Zina ) which is a crime in Islam and is punishable has a very specific definition where sexual relationships happen between a male and a female out of wedlock.
