However, this interpretation has varied among cultures as Islam has spread among the world. This is most predominantly seen in veiling or head covering rules from country to country. Islam holds the belief that all sexual activity are appropriate only in the context of marriage. Permissible sexual activity within marriage is also prescribed in the Qur’an. For example, it is forbidden to have intercourse while a woman is menstruating or bleeding after childbirth (al-Baqarah 2:222). Contraception is permitted for birth control. Adultery is also strongly prohibited. Homosexual acts are also forbidden. Marriage is highly valued in Islam. However, same-sex marriages are not accepted. Many members of the LGBTQ have experienced extreme problems, both socially and legally, in many Islamic countries where male homosexual acts are punishable by death. Islam permits divorce as a last option for irreconcilable marriages. When a divorce is initiated by the husband it is called a talaq, and this can be made in a verbal or written statement. In this case, the wife has the rights to keep the dowry. If the divorce is initiated by the wife, she may forgo the dowry Muslims believe life begins at conception. Muslims regard abortion as haram, but many accept that it may be permitted in certain circumstances. This would include if the mother’s life is at risk or if the fetus is less than 120 days old. Seeking assistance for reproduction through biotechnologies is encouraged in Islam, with the exception of surrogacy.
