What if the husband CAN afford a decent apartment and nice clothes for his family, but if he was to spend money on his parents (who have some money of their own) then he would not be able to fully provide a nice standard of living to his wife and kids?
Should he provide a SUB PAR standard of living to his wife/kids just so he can squeeze in supporting the parents? And what if the parents get pension every month but the husband refuses to take ANY money from them to help out with expenses at home just because he wants to take care of them, but this results in again, a sub par standard of living for the wife/kids?
What if the husband is helping the parents and these are the same parents, who never spent a dime on him but will always spend on their daughters and most likely will leave anything (inheritence) to their daughters and nothing for him?
So you came up with what you wanted to say.
This is the universal problem of females............. To separate the husband from Parents and Brothers............ Don't even thinking that we as Muslims are having utmost responsibility towards our Parents. Even having their pensions, he is right to help his parents.
Why the inheritance should go only to daughters??????? Why not to your husband as well??
