Someone I know stayed married despite the fact that her husband and inlaws never let her out of the house without special permission, even to see her own family who lived ten minutes away. Visits from the outside were also strictly regulated. She was not even allowed to see her father when he was dying, eventhough she lived so close to him.
She didn't want a divorce because once she realized how bad it really was, she had kids, and she didn't to destroy her home or hurt her family. She has a lot of patience.
Now things have changed. No one knows specifically why, but there are theories. Anyway, they come and go pretty much as they please now and there's a much happier relationship, though still a little formality sometimes. Overall, things are good thanks to Allah.
well thats good!..a positive ending..her 'sabr' payed off..:)
oh and u girlz remember int eh other thread i talked about this girl i knew who got married and her inlaws made her wear hijab well now she has to wear a full burqa when she goes outside plus she has a kid plus her husband doesnt do naything except look pretty and smile plus she works plus she has to live in the same hosue as his 7 brothers..so i guess some women abroad really want to make it work..even if it calls for total life change!
