Quote:Do Muslims acknowledge Maryam's perpetual virginity like Catholics do? Thanks in advance for the answer :)
Like Catholics do since when? Honestly FHC, I feel sometimes you make up your own Catholisim and pass it around, unless the Catholics are alot more un-united than I thought. As far as we were taught, they always said it was quite possible Mary and Joseph HAD other children and possible Jesus had half sisters and brothers. ALthough they always made the point that it wasnt really important to faith weather they did or not. I never heard about perpetual verginity before.
I do agree with you on one point, these two things are not comparable in the first place.
I dont believe Mary and Joseph were married, but just our of curiosity, why would he be interested in marriage without children or intamacy? Even Prophets were desirous of Children, and he is not better or more righteous than a Prophet. Why marriage at all then?

That's a bit childish, not to mention rude.
