Marriage with Humanoids in the Context of Islamic Family Law

Abstract

We are faced with the dissatisfaction of civilisation in the age of artificial intelligence. We are living in an age where the building blocks of law are played with the problems caused by technology centred on sexuality. First the brain of men and women, and now the technological form of the body, the humanoid problem has emerged. When we go deeper into the problem, what emerges is whether the libido will be neglected while modelling the human brain. In the modern period we are in, marriage, like many other things, is about to be consumed. How will the meaning attributed to the feelings of love, compassion and mercy mentioned in the Qur’an be met with technological means? The Qur’an meets these three most basic human emotions with the concept of “tranquility (sexual and emotional fulfilment)”. Accordingly, the Qur’an states that the acquisition of these feelings will be through the family, which is based on sexuality and expresses sexual security. The concept of family, in a way, means ensuring the reproduction of men and women by benefiting from each other sexually. In addition, the family constitutes the smallest basic foundation of society. Marriage with humanoids, which has been on the agenda recently, has made us look at the family structure from a different perspective. For this reason, we see that the tendencies of people who look at various forms of marriage that disrupt the family structure are different. Along with the psychological and social reasons underlying this idea, there is a need to examine marriage with humanoids in religious law. Whether or not humanoids should be granted legal status or what kind of status they should be granted should be expressed in the context of marriage. It is the free will that fulfils the meaning of what is expressed on the legal level. Then, when we look at the marriage contract in terms of the subject (purpose) of marriage; if love depends on free will, can the contract that enables the parties to benefit from each other sexually be with humanoids?
