@NomiCA

I learnt here..that daughters have equal responsibility to take care of their parents…just like sons do..

Wow, you learnt this valuable fact here? Ever thought of reading the Quran where the rights of parents are constantly emphasized without giving any regard to gender?! I am sorry but I’ve never come across any Quranic verse that limits the responsibility of parents to sons or takes away that responsibility from girls.

1. Women definately have responsibilities towards her own parents like the men do, HOWEVER you can’t say they are same just lik men and women arent. So the comparison is baseless.

2. According to the Quran, The Women’s first priority is her husband unlike the men whos first priority is not his wife. To make it simple to understand; Who has the most right over a woman?” = “Her husband. “Who has the most right over a man?” = “His mother.”

Can you tell me WHERE in the Quran it says that a woman’s first priority is her husband and the man’s first priority is his mother. I know there is a hadith about a mother’s rights over a man but misquoting the Quran and making such ridiculous comments is rather sad.

Sons and daughters have equal responsibilities towards their parents and anyone who misquotes the Quran is seriously living in a fool’s paradise. A son’s parents aren’t any different than a daughter’s parents and deserve equal respect, companionship and affection. Joint family system isn’t a creation of Islam, it’s a creation of Hinduism with preference being given solely to the husband’s parents…I don’t want to mention the pros and cons of joint family systems since that’s not the issue here but people really need to align their thought processes with the reality of their religion as opposed to following dogmatic Hindu customs.

I honestly can’t believe the ignorance and backwardness often exhibited on this forum. No wonder Pakistan as a country is still stuck in the dark ages.
