Abstract:
This article points out: “The combination of men and women in families
is irrational.” Men and women are two different “species.” They only
require sexual activities from each other, which are considered the less
time-consuming activities during their lives. Sex must be treated as an
enemy of marriage, due to its inferior and treacherous nature, and
should not be included in marriage. Men and women should not live
together in a family, since this institution must be understood as a
permanent place for all family members and is expected to have a solid
structure. The traditional family model is the result of men‟s
enslavement of women and the exaggeration of the role of sex. This model
creates an overwhelming advantage for men in selecting partners,
proposing marriage, and other family activities. This article indicates:
(i) The prominent family models existing between the group-marriage
period and now are sex-based family models. (ii) Technical and social
conditions nowadays require a new and sustainable base for a family. The
selected targets in this study are the consanguineous and sworn
relationships among same-sex people in case they choose to be
heterosexual, (and in turn, among opposite-sex persons when they engage
in homosexuality). For example, a family can consist of two blood
brothers (or sworn brothers or cousins) with their children, in case
they are heterosexual. This family model is named the non-sex based
family (NSBF) model, since the sexual needs will be met outside the
family. The article also outlines a post-patriarchal society with the
presence of NSBFs, and argues that the new model should be seen as an
essential development trend of society.
