Muslims: Sex Outside Marriage

They believe sex belongs in a marriage and nowhere else
Shari'ah Law forbids it and carries a punishment for those who have sex outside marriage. The punishment for adultery is a stoning to death
Allah gave sex for procreation and family life, which can only belong inside marriage
1. In Islam, having a good family is important as it gives Muslims a sense of identity and a shelter
Muhammed, the Islamic Prophet, taught sex is for marriage only
The Qur'an forbids it and adultery (sex outside marriage, i.e having sex outside of your marriage) is considered as a sin
In Islam, cohabitation is also immoral and sinful
1. COHABITATION: living together without being married
Muslims - especially women - must dress respectfully and modestly so they don't attract sexual attention or encourage temptation
