Re: Friend Proposal
Islam allows a woman the right to work. And there are women who can manage a job and a family beautifully. There are some women who stop working when the children are young and then go back to work when the kids are older and more independent. And there are even some women who prefer to work from home so that its easier for them to tend to the kids and household duties. Given the kind of economy we have these days, sometimes both spouses have to work to make ends meet. And as life is unpredictable, emergencies might crop of which require a woman to work in order to support her family. There are some women who prefer to be homemakers....but circumstances may not always allow her that option.
It is not the end of the world if a woman wants to work after marriage. However it is simply a matter of personal preference. While some men prefer wives to be strictly homemakers, others have no issues with their wives working. Neither one is right nor wrong.
Your friend should talk to the guy about this. Sometimes a guy and his parents have different viewpoints. It could be that he is okay with her working after marriage. This scenario would be easier if the guy won't be living with his parents after marriage. If she finds that the guy holds the same views as his parents and won't budge from them.....then she should not pursue this rishta. It's better to find someone who she is more** compatible** with.
