Tehran-based women's rights advocate Shadi Sadr says the authorities seek to provide a legal framework for Iran's growing prostitution industry by using the Islamic short-term marriage (siqeh) as a cover.

The mention of "fees" in the organization's bylaws shows that the plan is for women with financial need who would be selling their bodies against their will.

(Homayoun Majd, Washington)ماه منير رحيمي (راديو آزادي): روسپيگري پديده ايست كه به نظر پژوهشگران در تمام جوامع انساني وجود دارد. در ايران پس از انقلاب 57 به گفته مسئولان بسيار سعي شد كه اين مسئله كم شود، اما رسانه ها و فعالان امور زنان در ايران بارها اعلام كردند مسئله زنان خياباني نه تنها كم نشده بلكه رو به افزايش است. همچنين در پي بحث هاي مفصل در موضوع ازدواج موقت اكنون مطبوعات چاپ تهران از طرحي خبر داده اند كه ممكن است موسسه اي وظيفه اداره اين امور را به عهده بگيرد. در اين باره از شادي صدر، حقوقدان، روزنامه نگار و فعال در امور زنان پرسيدم پيشينه اين طرح به كجا بر مي گردد؟ شادي صدر: اساسا نهاد ازدواج موقت يا به قول حقوقدانان «متعه» و يا به قول مردم عادي «صيغه» از زماني كه مذهب شيعه به وجود آمدوجود داشته و در قانون هم مبحثي به نام ازدواج منقطع وجود داشته و كمابيش عمل مي شده. بعضي از دست اندركاران سياسي فكر مي كنند مي توانند از نهاد ازدواج موقت استفاده كنند براي اينكه مسئله فحشا و روسپيگري را حل كنند يا لااقل در چارچوب قانوني قرارش دهند. من يادم مي آيد زماني كه اين بحث داغ شده بود زماني بود كه آقاي رفسنجاني براي مسئله روابط دختر و پسر پيشنهادي داده بودند كه ازدواج موقت به عنوان يك راه حل شروع شود و روي آن سرمايه گذاري شود. و همان موقع هم جامه استقبال نكرد و اين موضوع مسكوت ماند. ماه منير رحيمي: چطور شد كه اين موضوع اكنون چدي و علني شده؟ شادي صدر: قضيه اينست كه ابعاد فحشا و روسپيگري آنقدر تكان دهنده شده و آنقدر آمارش هرروز دارد بالا مي رود كه در واقع فكر كردند شايد بتوانند راه حلي پيدا كنند. ماهمنير رحيمي: گويا برخي از نمايندگان مجلس با اين طرح مخالفت كرده اند، شما فكر مي كنيد كه اشكال اين موظوع كجا بوده كه سبب مخالفت آنها شده؟ شادي صدر: درست است كه طرح به طور واضح نگفته كه در مورد چه كساني به عمل آمده، گفته كه ما مي خواهيم اين طرح را اجرا كنيم براي زناني كه همسر ندارند يا كساني اعم از مرد يا زن كه نمي خواهند ازدواج دائم كنند، مرداني كه همسرانشان نمي توانند نيازهاي جنسي شان را بر آورده كنند و از اين دست آدم ها... براي حل مشكلات آنها اين طرح را اجرا مي كنيم و اگر اين طرح در جامعه مقبوليت پيدا كرد براي كسان ديگر هم اجرا خواهيم كرد. اما انتهاي طرح يك جايي توي طرح اسم زندان آمده و اسم قوه قضائيه به عنوان نهاد درگير اين قضيه و اينها علامت هايي است نشان مي دهد اين طرح در واقع براي سر و سامان دادن به وضعيت زناني كه تن فروشي مي كنند توي جامعه ، نوشته شده. مرحله اول اينست كه از زندان بيايند بيرون و مرحله دوم معرفي شوند به اين دفاتر و برايشان گواهي ازدواج موقت صادر بشود و بعد توي ازدواج موقت چيزي به نام اجرت نداريم ولي اينجا رسما «اجرت» به كار برده شده. يك موقع هست كه من دلم مي خواهد يك رابطه اي با كسي داشته باشم، آن خيلي فرق دارد با اينكه من مجبورم، هيچ راه ديگري براي گذران زندگي ندارم، جامعه هيچ راه بهتري ... و من با نفرت و انزجار اين كار را مي كنم. اينست كه نياز هاي جنسي توي جامعه ما از هيچ راهي جز خانواده قابل ارضا نيست. براي همين وقتي امكان تشكيل خانواده وجود ندارد، چنين پديده اي اينقدر گسترش پيدا مي كند. در حالي كه ما اگعر اجازه بدهيم كه آدم ها با هم بتوانند ارتباط داشته باشند اين پديده اينقدر توي جامعه ما فراگير نمي شود. ما اگر به اين نتيجه نرسيم كه روابط جنسي آدم ها با تشكيل خانواده دادن دو تا چيز متفاوت اند فكر مي كنم ما اصلا هرگز نتوانيم مسئله روسپيگري را حل كنيم. چون به تجربه ثابت شده كه توي ايران وقتي توي زندگي شخصي افراد دخالت مي كنند هميشه اوضاع بدتر مي شود. به هر حال هر دو طرف بايد حق داشته باشند كه از اين رابطه بيايند بيرون. ولي زن توي ازدواج موقت با توجه به قوانين ما چنين حقي ندارد. بنابر اين پيش بيني چنين نهادي كه براي زناني كه تا حالا به عنوان روسپي مورد نفرت و تهمت و اذيت و آزار جامعه بودند، از پايين ترين قشرها بودند، حالا بياييم وارد اين نهاد هم بكنيم، توي اين چارچوب هم قرار بدهيم، من فكر نمي كنم كه مشكلاتشان اصلا حل بشود، حتي فكر مي كنم خيلي تشديد بشود.
اداره امور ازدواج موقت يا صيغه، برعهده يک موسسه رسمي گذاشته مي شود به نام «عفاف» كه با ثبت مدت و دريافت «اجرت» ازدواج موقت، متقاضيان را به هتل ها معرفي مي کند. هدف از تشكيل اين موسسه رفع نيازهاي جنسي افراد مجرد عنوان شده است. شادي صدر، حقوقدان و روزنامه نگار فعال امور زنان، در مصاحبه با راديوآزادي مي گويد بعضي از دست اندركاران سياست فكر مي كنند مي توانند با استفاده از نهاد ازدواج موقت (صيغه) در مذهب شيعه، براي مسئله فحشا، كه به طرز تكان دهنده اي در ايران گسترش يافته است، چارچوب قانوني به وجود آورند. شادي صدر مي افزايد: طرح تشكيل موسسه «عفاف» براي سرو سامان به وضع زنان روسپي تدوين شده است كه به موجب آن، پس از خروج از زندان زنان روسپي به دفاتر اين موسسه معرفي مي شوند كه براي همخوابگي آنها با مردان متقاضي، گواهي ازدواج موقت صادر مي كند. شادي صدر مي افزايد: در اين طرح رسما كلمه «اجرت» به كار رفته است و نشان مي دهد كه طرح براي زناني است كه به علت نياز مالي، با انزجار به اين كار تن مي دهند. وي مي گويد: اگر در جامعه اجازه ارتباط آزاد جنسي ميان افراد ازدواج نكرده وجود داشته باشد، فحشا به اين اندازه گسترش پيدا نمي كند.
