In Palestine around 50 women in the last years became mother thanks to insemination carried out with sperma of their husbands smuggled out of the Israeli prisons. A small part of them not only got pregnant, but also married while the man was already in prison thanks to marriages by proxy. This small phenomenon is de facto allowing the creation and the enlargement of a family in absence of a man. In this chapter the interviews I collected in Palestine with wives of prisoners are analyzed in the light of the recent findings of the anthropological literature on assisted reproduction.One of the consequences of assisted reproduction is the separation between sexual acts and reproduction itself, something that denaturalize reproduction. Women who marry an inmate are an extreme example of procreation without sexual intercourse, because conjugal visits are not allowed to those Israel classify as “political prisoners”. Since marriages by proxy could potentially involve virgins, the sexuality of women and the integrity of their bodies is of central relevance, because of religious opinions that declare that a woman who undertake a fertility treatment should not be virgin. In this chapter I focus on reproduction in absence of sexual intercourse and I concentrate on how the cases I interviewed legittimate their position. I hereby analyze how those women choose to marry a prisoner, how they start to think in being impregnated with their husbands’ semen and why the procreation without sexual intercourse - that in the case of marriage by proxy also means that potentially that woman and that man never had sex - was allowed.
