Its a practice that the prophet allowed I believe in certain circumstances.
Later one of the first three caliphs decided that it shouldn't go on. People who didn't side with the caliph on other issues, ignored the ruling. Most of those people were shia folks, along with some other sunni groups.
Thats the political aspect of it, in a nutshell. Its not a religious thing. Absolutely not.
