[quote]Regarding "legalized adultery", as coined by Junaidj, although the expression itself may not be appropriate, the sense does seem to be supported by the Qur'an, even in the case of the first nikaah, IF it is not carried out with the right intention. Pickthal's translation reads:

[b]And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye [red][u]seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery[/u][/red]. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise. [/b] [Qur'an 4:24]

It seems, it is a pre-requisite for any nikaah to have valid bases. Debauchery and lust do not seem good enough bases. Otherwise, mut'ah would not have been so outrageous an idea.
