Should boys be allowed to have a later curfew than their sisters?
Re: Curfews
I would be more worried about my daughter being out than my son. Chances of a girl being kidnapped and raped would be significantly higher than of a boy.
Re: Curfews
So you'd keep the curfews the same or different?
Re: Curfews
Different, children's safety being the primary consideration. I will not be comfortable with my daughter being out late. Probability and odds of something bad happening is naturally higher for girls.
Re: Curfews
how do you intend on reinforcing this curfew on a 18 year old guy. ?
Re: Curfews
^ 18 year old guy? where did that come from?
Re: Curfews
When you have a son...eventually he's gonna grow...
Re: Curfews
Didn’t get the desired results PCG? 
Now we change the subject. Yeah he’s gonna grow. Probably I’d be dead by then, perhaps he will join the rebel forces and fight againt the empire, or he will invent time machine, so when he’s spending days in the lab at a stretch analysing the conversion of mass into energy, what would be my reaction, and how will I treat my daughter. She will definitely suffer if her brother joins the rebel forces. This stuff won’t let me sleep at night :hinna:
Re: Curfews
Huh?
Re: Curfews
Worries of a father. You wouldn’t get it :hinna:
Re: Curfews
LMAO!!! That made my day. All you needed was a Yoda reference to make it gold!
Re: Curfews
**I would keep both my sons and daughters curfews about the same or as close as possible. Because what i never understood was what is the need for anyone to be out late at night? Do what you got to do during the day, hang out n all but at night, guy or girl need to be at home, no question asked. And for anyone who wants to argue that, lets remember its highly unlikely that whatever they’re doing, is 100% halal:). Up to the time they go to college, every parent needs to teach their childern whats right and whats wrong. **
We all know when they go to college they might stay out the whole night, but at that point the parents have done their part, now its the kids time to make mistakes and learn from them!!
P.s i HATE those parents who let their boys do whatever they want and the girls have to be home by 8:smack:, way to keep a balance morons!
Re: Curfews
Same.
Re: Curfews
Great! keep them locked in the closet and you will raise perfect momin bachay. It has more to do with the morals you inculcate in your children esp. those you teach by example and not merely by getting on their nerves. If they are set to do something haraam, they can very well do that during the day as they can at night. If they have a reason to stay out late, they can stay out late. To me curfew is more related to safety than teaching them morals and halaals.
Should boys be allowed to have a later curfew than their sisters?
you mean should girls be more care about or not?
Re: Curfews
late curfews on boyz!!! This has always happened since God knows when.
here’s my .05 cents.
for girls - late curfew is not allowed because of the mere fact that - it makes the girl EQUAL to the guy. In our society it is understood that guys get experiences (all the bad ones) in life when they hang out late at night. Girls are not expected to get such experiences. Hence hanging out late for girls is not allowed.
Good boyz don’t hang out late.
So girls be IZMART! Go for the boyz who never hung out late. They are the ones to keep.
.. and the boyz who hang out late - well who needs em? Let their parents repent for allowing him to hang out late.
okay finish on my .05 cents. Hope it made sense 
Re: Curfews
i would implement the same that was implemented in our household...maghrib se pehle beta beti dono ghar mein
Re: Curfews
for safety purposes…maybe. depends really
if i’m living in NY by the time i have kids and the’re older…no way in hell im gonan let them ride the subway after 8 PM 
Re: Curfews
*What is it that boy should be able to do after 11 or midnight that a girl can't do? I really don't like the idea of having two differnt rules(keeping in mind that girls need more protection) in the house, and maybe thats because in my house there was no such thing as a curfew(Even thou its just my sister and I) BUT there was something called common sense on when to be home, SO you teach your child when, where and with who its okay and safe to be out and when you need to get your butt back home. *
Re: Curfews
ok I might be putting my hand into bee hive BUT by nature females dont have physical strength of males and there is no harm in accepting it.
Its pity that women are too quick to mention that "females are more caring by nature" but go for kill if its mentioned that "females are less strong physically and emotionally than men". For very same reason, they need more protection (I am talking about women in general and not only desi women). No wonder I have mostly seen females carrying pepper spray in key chains. For this very reason, most desi parents are over protective for their daughters.
Having said all that, I am not for discrimination on this basis. When we were in our teens, MAGHRIB was the meter. I and my sister were instructed to be home by Maghrib unless its some special occasion (birthday parties etc) when our parents exactly knew whose place are we at and when to pick us up.
