In Egypt there has been a trend amongst young educated couples to use a legal devise known as the urfi marriage, which is actually not legally recognised in many Muslim countries, as a means of the boys getting pre-marital sex without the formal and legal need to get married.
Probably no real harm would be done when these teen 'arrangement's fell apart, but in the Muslim world women's rights are nominal at best and often proscribed by social convention as well as religious and legal ones. So when a child is the result of these unions, the girl is often left literally holding the baby and with a court fight to prove paternity in order to get financial support, which is by no means guaranteed.
Sadly this practise only arises in a society where intersex contact is so artificially constrained.
