Sexual Relationships before and outside of marriage
Christianity
Sexual Relationships before marriage
They believe that sex expresses a deep love and a lifelong union that requires the commitment of marriage.
You must be Chaste (sexually pure) before marriage, because sex is part of the loving and trusting relationship that should be developed inside a marriage.
Sex is not a casual temporary pleasure, and it is wrong to use people for sex and irresponsible to spread sti's or risk pregnancy.
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; -- 1 Corinthians 6;18-19
Anglican and Catholic Churches teach that sex before marriage is wrong, whilst some Christians acknowledge that it is a valid expression of their love for eachother.
Sexual Relationships Outside Marriage
Many Christians (and people of other/no faiths) agree that sex outside of marriage is wrong because it involves secrecy, lies and an betrayal of trust. It can affect other members of the family, mainly children.
It breaks the promises Christians make before God during their wedding which is to forsake all others and be faithful to each other as long as they both shall live. It threatens the stable relationship need between parents for their children's security. Jesus also taught that lust is also wrong
You shall not commit adultery -- Exodus 20:14
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[a] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. -- Matthew 5:27-8
Jesus forgave a woman who was caught in adultery, but ordered her to ' go now and leave your life of sin' - John 8:1-11.
Islam
Sexual Relationships before marriage
Muslims believe that God made sex a gift, and in Islam it is seen as a strong instinct that needs to be treated with precaution and managed responsibly.
The only way to protect all within society is to maintain a society where only a man and his wife share the act of sex -- Abdul Wahid Hamid, Islam: The Natural Way
Casual sex is wrong and detracts from the dignity of those involved.Sexual responsibility should not cause harm or other moral considerations. Children have a right to know both their parents and to be born into a loving family. Muslims believe that casual sex can leave to other evils such as rape and deception
The Qur'an forbids sex before marriage. Sex outside marriage is a serious sin under Islamic Law, it is zinah (a sexual offense)
Sexual Relationships Outside Marriage
Adultery or sex outside of marriage is considered a serious sin
A man should not stay with a woman in seclusion unless he is a Dhu-Mahram (relative) -- Hadith
It goes against the promises made by the couple at their wedding
And do not go anywhere near adultery:it is an outrage, and an evil path -- Qur'an 17:32
In many countries under Islamic law the punishment for any type of adultery is death by stoning. All convictions require either a confession or four separate eyewitnesses. It is very difficult and rare for such a conviction to be reached.
