I have been hearing this too, but wat I see happening around is totally different. I, dont, by any means, intend to say that this is wrong, but could it be possible that it has a totally different interpretation to it, or maybe it was said in a totally different context which we fail to understand.
Maybe this verse of Quran needs more clarification by our Ulema or scholars. Sadly, most of the geeks and nerd men get away with their acts and hunt the best maidens to raise their kids. As someone has pointed out, women should stand for themselves, and believe you me, they do, but sadly she loses her worth in eyes of this materialistic world. Why these double standards and why do ugly, pigs get to ruin innocent lives, I fail to understand. Why does God put women through such a test, when he has made them different from men? As for those, who speak women cheat too , I have also seen a few marriages break up coz the woman cheated which was nothing but mere socializing with a few friends, which many of the men dont restrain from after marriage. Islamically men can only have 4 wives, but socializing and hanging out with female friends? Which holy book points that out? If a man has to socialize with his office colleague, then why cant a women talk to a school friend.
Yes, its true these double standards are inculcated in us in our households by our beloved mums and sisters. Unfortunately, they forget the hurdles they faced and end up raising a monster for a innocent gurl who would tame with her jaheez and patience. Its all but sickening
