Religious Studies - HumansRelationships
  1. Christianity
    1. Marriage and divorce
      1. Marriage is important for Christians because:
        1. it provides a relationship through which husband and wife support each other; this relationship is built on love and faithfulness
          1. it provides a secure environment for the bringing up of children
            1. it's a gift from God; it's part of God’s plan for creation that men and women should live together
            2. The teaching of Jesus in the New Testament is against divorce
              1. Adultery (sex with someone who you are not married to) is also wrong according to the teachings of the Ten Commandments
                1. Many churches now allow divorce but a marriage can only be ended by an annulment in the Roman Catholic Church. This means that the marriage is regarded as never having taken place for special reasons
                2. Love and Sex
                  1. The Christian Church often has very strict views on love and sex.
                    1. Christians are encouraged to love one another in a non-sexual way. The type of love called ‘agape’. The love that Jesus showed to other people when he gave his life for them:
                      1. Christian teaching is generally that sexual intercourse is wrong unless it happens within a marriage.
                        1. In the Church of England the marriage service says that marriage is a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication outside marriage.
                          1. Christian teaching is traditionally opposed to homosexuality
                            1. Despite this teaching, a growing number of Christians today accept that for some people homosexual relationships are not going against God’s wishes
                          2. Islam
                            1. Love and sex
                              1. Islam has very strict views on love and sex.
                                1. Muslims view sexual intercourse as an act of worship that fulfils emotional and physical needs
                                  1. Having children is the way in which humans can contribute towards Allah’s creation.
                                    1. Sexual intercourse is a gift from Allah and therefore can only take place within a married relationship.
                                      1. Islam encourages people to marry and not to lead celibate lives.
                                        1. Homosexual and lesbian relationships are forbidden by Islam. Some Muslim lawyers have argued that it is a crime which should be punished by death.
                                          1. Men are not allowed to be alone with women other than their wives in case they are tempted by them:
                                          2. Marriage and Divorce
                                            1. Marriages in Islam are often arranged (by the two families of the bride and groom) but these can only take place with the consent of both parties. If someone was forced to marry then the marriage would be invalid.
                                              1. A man and a woman can remarry twice, but after a third divorce remarriage to each other cannot take place unless the woman has been married to another man in the meantime.
                                                1. Muslims see marriage as a contract but do accept divorce as a last resort.
                                                  1. A woman can also obtain a divorce, either by an agreement with her husband or because of his treatment of her.
                                                2. Judaism
                                                  1. Marriage and divore
                                                    1. Marriage (kiddushin) is very important in Judaism because family and the home are thought to be great blessings.
                                                      1. Jewish marriage is intended to be for life but it has always been accepted that sometimes things do not work out. If the marriage breaks down and divorce appears to be inevitable, the man has to give his wife a get. This is a document of divorce and has to be presented at a rabbinical court
                                                        1. The divorce then takes place after three months to make sure that the woman is not pregnant.
                                                          1. However a growing number of Jewish men and women do marry non-Jews. When this happens in an Orthodox family the father may say kaddish (the memorial prayer said at funerals) to show that his child is now dead to him.
                                                          2. Love and Sex
                                                            1. Judaism has very strict views on love and sex
                                                              1. Judaism believes that sexual intercourse is a very important part of human relationships but only as part of marriage.
                                                                1. It is not natural for people to choose to be celibate because marriage and the family are such an important part of Jewish teaching.
                                                                  1. Judaism teaches that the purpose for sex is not just to have children: it is also for married people to demonstrate their love for each other
                                                                    1. Homosexuality is forbidden in the Torah
                                                                      1. Jaws are willing to accept homosexual couples into the Jewish community.
