For most of its history, the Magisterium was united in the belief that same-sex romantic and physically intimate relationships including but not limited to marriage were forbidden based on a strict in interpretation of the scripture specifically, the Surah 1478 which states, "I call you, men and women, marry, bear children and be abundant as the Most Beneficent has led you to". Movements emerged in more liberal nations stating that this Surah did not specifically require marriage solely between men and women. Given the conflict and fear of secession, the Council of Great Magisters ruled that the matter was to be interpreted geographically.
===Female Magisters===
The criteria for Magisters are described in the Bingolian Additions of the Bas Magdamar entitled, the Government. In this section, Surah 6980 states that "A Magister shall be a man who..." Others began arguing that the word "man" was being used generally in this case. Historical and linguistic analysis pointed out that because of the patriarchal society in which the book was written considered women and children as being subordinated to men, the term "man" was used to describe people generally. Read together with Surah 450, which states, "Serve the Most Beneficent as She calls you, each according to your gift". Thus, arguments emerged that women could also be called to serve as Magisters given that Surah 1203 states, "The Most Merciful shall share Her gifts as she pleases..." which they argue indicates that anyone can be appointed if they are "called".
===Abortion===
In Surah 23, "Verily, I say to you as the Most Beneficent instructs, 'Preserve all life as far as possible, even the life of... and even the unborn infant for whoever does not shall commit ''hidaad''against the Most Merciful'". Liberals argued that the Surah could be read along with Surah 2312 which states,"If one man is old and sickly and another is young and strong, whose life, shall you save where both equally face doom? Verily, I say to you, that you that he who seeks what is good and decides with his heart, shall be spared the wrath of the Most High and rewarded the cup of life". As such, liberals argue that discretion is given to the doctor or mother or other qualified person depending on the situation to terminate a pregnancy.
