(NL Times) A mosque in The Hague is willing to arrange short-term marriages between women who need money and men who will pay them for sex, a Swedish research program discovered. Such transactions are known as “pleasure marriages” and are considered to be prostitution and human trafficking, according to RTL.
The investigation found 20 different mosques in Sweden and at least one in The Hague that facilitate pleasure marriages. A woman pretending to be in need of money phoned imams at these locations, asking for help.
The imam at the mosque in The Hague, which is part of the Alcauther Foundation, agreed a marriage could be arranged. “I have a suggestion,” he said. “How about me?” Then he offered her over 1,200 euros for a month of marriage.
