German politician Gabriele Pauli wants marriages to automatically dissolve after seven years...

[b]Glamorous politician wants law to allow 7-year itch [/b]

Reuters - Fri. 21 Sept. 2007

By Madeline Chambers - Fri Sep 21, 4:00 AM ET

Bavaria's most glamorous politician -- a flame-haired motorcyclist who helped bring down state premier Edmund Stoiber -- has shocked the Catholic state in Germany by suggesting marriage should last just 7 years.

Gabriele Pauli, who poses on her web site in motorcycle leathers, is standing for the leadership of Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) -- sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) -- in a vote next week.

She told reporters at the launch of her campaign manifesto on Wednesday she wanted marriage to expire after seven years and accused the CSU, which promotes traditional family values, of nurturing ideals of marriage which are wide of the mark.

"The basic approach is wrong ... many marriages last just because people believe they are safe," she told reporters. "My suggestion is that marriages expire after seven years."

After that time, couples should either agree to extend their marriage or it should be automatically dissolved, she said.

Fifty-year-old Pauli, twice divorced, is a maverick intent on shaking up her male-dominated and mainly Catholic party which has dominated Bavarian politics since World War Two.

"This is about bringing ideas into the CSU and starting a discussion," she told German television on Thursday after she had unleashed a wave of criticism from other politicians.

Former foe Stoiber said she did not belong in the CSU and European lawmaker Ingo Freidrich dismissed her views.

"She is diametrically contradicting our Christian, ethical values," Freidrich said.

Peter Ramsauer, head of the CSU in Germany's parliament, compared Pauli's ideas to "the dirt under your fingernails".

Pauli, who attracted attention earlier this year when she posed for a magazine wearing long black latex gloves, was at the centre of a snooping scandal which eventually led to Stoiber, Bavarian premier for 14 years, saying he would stand down early.

She said his office tried to obtain details about lovers and alcohol consumption to use against her.

The CSU will elect Stoiber's successor as party head at a conference next week. He will be replaced as state premier in early October.

Viewed as a party rebel, Pauli stands almost no chance of winning next week's vote. The contest has been fought mainly between Bavarian state economy minister Erwin Huber and German Consumer Minister Horst Seehofer.

The popularity of Seehofer, a 58-year-old married father of three, has suffered from the disclosure that he had been having an affair with a younger woman who recently had his baby.

couldnt find the uni education thread

hows the LPC going Naz?

is it hard?

9-5 5 days a week?

A lady in Tarawih the other day – who’s from Pakistan, was telling me how sick she is of the clock. For in Pakistan the Adhaan would always tell her the time.

In Saudi our day revolved around the five Adhaans. I.e. Fajr azaan was our alarm clock, after Fajr we’d eat breakfast, we sleep after breakfast and the Dhur adhan would wake us up etc etc

Everything from dinner time to bedtime would revolve around the adhaans.

Here we have to totally rely on the clocks. I wake up when my alarms rings, I have to start my fast according to the time on the clock, read Fajr according to clock, wake up for work when my alarm rings, see off my class bang on 3.15pm according to the clock….Iftar is based on what time it is on the clock…. Tarawih prayer starts exactly at 9.00pm.

When I went to Saudi, I didn’t even take a watch. Here, if the watch stops. Its messes up your fasts, you’re late for work, you miss Salaah’s completely or kids are sent off late home and parents are screwing.

IMO there's more barkat in the day when your timetable revolves around the Adhaans.

you DO realise that someone is just looking at the clock for you and calling the azaan?!

if you want you can call the azaan urself!

i have a digital quran player that calls the azaan and it always goes off at work (much to everyone's surprise)

Lol. Its only one person though isnt it?

But millions of people are benefitting cos of him.

I heard in a lecture once that one should organise their day around the Adhaans.

i think the ideal way of life is to work from fajr til zuhr. then after lunch have a nap until asr. then spend time with kids til maghrib, then with spouse until isha. then sleep.

(might be a bit difficult to do in british summertime)

Daytime Nap is a Eastern thing isnt it? Cos those countries are hot.

Or an old man thing. lol.

I can lie in during the morning - but can never sleep during the day.

if you have a half-hour 'power nap' in the middle of the day it gives u a HUGE boost of energy that will last u thru til night time.

it especially helps if ur fasting in my experience.

Starting from next week get thurs off which is good. Good first assesment due in this mon and first exam in nov (they dont hang about). Undergrad was a stroll in the park compared to postgrad. You get alot of help and guidance (its funny how much help you get when you folk out 7k).

why does every1 think pakistan will lose?

with Gul's end of innings economical bowling........asif's magic with the new ball......tanvir's unpredictable bowling....afridi's bowling too......add to that somat i havnt seen ppakistan do ever - field very well........and misbah ul haq, malik, younus, nazir (finally had a gud match!), akmal etc....we can bat too

beat sri lanka, australia, NZ........who are india!!

pakistan zindabad

but its United v the mourinho-less chelsea 1st!

australia got trashed by india today, bless em.
pakistan do well towards the beginning, they get too excited and as a result, they mess it up at the end!

traditioanly they do mess up...and i lost what little faith and hope i had in them

but this is a new look side, and a new captain....and a different format of the game

we dont have many weaknesses...besides a dodgy opening pair, but thats no major issue.....weve only 'lost' on a bowl out!

have hope!

we?

anyway, the pakistan matches provide good entertainment.

we = pakistan!!

How can anything be bad if Prophet (pbuh) allowed it.

Germany is just catching up now to concept of Mutah marriage.

But that's haraam... Only Shia Muslims practice mutah marriage don't they. Is it actually quite common Malik? Does it happen quite often even in this country?

Ya'qub, you all set for your I'tikaf? How many days in total are you going for?

well, its going to get very popular in Germany, now that a minister is calling for it.

It is not Haraam. If it was, I would not do it. Our Ayatollah says Prophet (pbuh) allowed it, so it can't be Haraam can it?
Companions used to do it a lot. Instead of feeling guilty and doing it in secret, why not do it without fear because Islam says its ok. Its there for our pleasure. so, enjoy it. Thats what it is there for. Why not benefit from it.

Its popular among us lot, but some sunni brothers also do it now, even in Egypt. I know a few guys in college doing it.
