Haven’t had the chance to watch this programme yet but I guess it’s more about Pakistanis and not so much about other Muslims? Which is usually the case when it comes to UK programmes about ‘British Muslims’.
The problem is that these men have the same expectations that people back home used to have. Whereas us women who are born and/or bred in the West have adopted things such as equality and freedom et cetera. So we gained certain expectations/demands/whateveryouwanttocallit at the expense of Pakistani/Muslim men. There is always going to be a clash.
In my opinion, in most of these cases compromise is not really possible.. it’s either divorce or one side has to give in (usually the woman).
