A strange one said that a couple's marriage would be annulled if they copulate with no clothes on.

From the article:

'When a woman goes swimming, as the word for sea is masculine, when "the water touches the woman's private parts, she becomes an 'adulteress' and should be punished."
- Summary of a report titled "The misguided Fatwas of the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis", as published in the Al Masry Al Youm.'

stijndeloose wrote:In Dutch, "sea" is feminine. Yay!

According to the report, "the fatwas issued by both groups (the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis) regard women as strange creatures who are created solely for sex. They considered the voices of women, their looks and presence outside the walls of their homes an 'offence'. Some even went as far as to consider women as a whole offensive."

Another fatwa prohibited women from "eating certain vegetables or even touching cucumbers or bananas", due to their phallic imagery which could lead women down the wrong path.

Another fatwa directed women to "turn off the air conditioners at home in the absence of their husbands as this could indicate to a neighbour that the woman is at home alone and any of them could commit adultery with her".

Another fatwa orders that girls as young as 10-years-old be married "to prevent them from deviating from the right path".

Or masculine; apparently, both forms are accepted.

Die See (the sea) is feminine, though, so I'm cool. On the other hand, der See (the lake) is masculine.

Yep. Same can be said for all fundamentalist religionists, IMO.

Curiously, it's feminine in French (la mer), but masculine in Italian (il mare).
