So? I still don’t get why you’re getting all worked up about a wife’s income and what she choose to do with it. Are you telling me, if tomorrow your husband is not able to support you for whatever reason, you’re going to sit tight on all your money and tell your kid “too bad daddy can’t feed you” ? - and what’s with the extreme ends? Who wants to force anyone? I’m pretty sure most guys would love to have a wife at home who cleans, cooks and just look pretty for them to come home to. But now if she’s working, she isn’t going to contribute because her money is her money and his money is her money too? And yes for God sake let’s discuss Islam, because of all the rights of husband and wife mentioned in the Holy Book, the income of the wife is most definetely the one which needs the most highlighting in todays world. Baqi sab kuch we’ve nailed it, right Bombshellbabe? If husband and wife have their priorities straight according to Islam to begin with, no one would need to play ‘smart’ - whatever that means.

Therefore, I suggested to have their money saved for emergency purpose… In my words “BEING A SMART” woman… What if God forbids, husband can’t work anymore due to some accident. Then a wife contribution is justified… To make men lazy and irresponsible is not the way to go. The argument that I am making here is not to expect an income if she doesn’t want to contribute… As i have given my friends examples, they have no choice except to contribute even the men is making a lot more. Once they chipped in, they are expected to give their entire income to the husband every month.

We are arguing whether a woman should chip in or not… I am saying men should know what their responsibilities are after tying a knot. Why is Mahar given to the wife not other way around?
