I don't want a GIRL

Ok don’t get me wrong here, its not what you think :slight_smile:

Most of my threads are based on issues which exist in our society but we just don’t wanna talk about them till we are confronted with them. Here is another one…

“I don’t want a girl” are the words of my canadian colleague who already has two daughters…his wife is expecting another baby girl. He was kind of depressed over the whole situation and he is already planning for another child, hoping that this time God will bless him with a boy. I kept quiet at that moment…but later i felt that i should have said something but what can you say to a guy with that perspective…

What is so bad about having a girl? I’ve two brothers and i have always missed a behan in our family. Is there something about girls that i don’t know?

Salaam BoSS jee.

Bohut hee achaa topic hai.

Kuch din pehle meri behan ko bhi allah ne betee de, to un ke 'woh' bohut khush the, and apne khushee ka izhaar kule dil se kar rahe the, jab aik doctor ne un se poocha ke 'Tum apni bewi ko thapar kab maro ge!'
And he was like ' WHAT?? '
Baji ke poochne pe us na bataaya keh thooree dair pehle aik Turkee ne apni batee ki paidaish pe apni bewi ko mara hai.

Kuch log to beteeyoon se nafrat karte hain, aur un ka kuch nahin ho saqta.

Aur kuch log zimedaariyoon se gabraate hain - Ya shaiyed un ki qismat se darte hain.

Waise gabhi gabhi maan baap se ziyadah bagi logon ko taqleef ho rahi hotee hai, jab kisi ke ghar betee ho.
Mere Abbu ko aik dafah kisi ne kaha the ke ' Haye tumhare ghar betee hoi', to abbu ne kaha ' Acha hai marne ke ba'd koi ronye ga to sahee'.

Mere khayaal main log beteyoon ko in wajohaat ki bina pe napasand karte hain:

  • Betee se KHAANDAAN nahin chalta.
  • Un ki Qismat se darte hain.
  • Jaheez ki launat.

Wagarira..

BTW. aap ka woh doost kab tak 'koshish' karta rehe ga, agar ab betee hoi aur phir betee hoi to. Ya phir agar Allah ne us ki qismat main beta likha hee na huwa to?

Saba u did a good analysis....

-Bati say khandan nhin chalta,
Kya baiti kay "baghair" kisi doosray ka khandan chul sukta hai? khandan na howa 45 number wagon ho gai :)

-Un ki Qismat say durtay hain
Un ki qismat kharab kurnay walay kon hotay hain? kisi aur kay baitay, jin ki paidaish pur jushn manaya jata hai

-Jahez ki launaat...aur zymadarioN say ghabraana
Wo murd hi kya jo jahez pay depend kurta ho...aur zymadarioN say ghabrata ho

Hey ya W.B. Aslkm!

Whatz up? Hmmm… wish I knew the “something” precisly,here goes again…

Double expectations come in view from a girl these days. i.e. Get good education, be able to stand on ur feet (being able to get a mighty good job). So if in the long term one runs out of luck, gets married to a wacko, or a ‘choowy ji’ and some how the wife remains behind (i.e. Husband dies etc, or divorce, Allah BachaAy) she’ll be still able to support her kids and carry on with life independantly.

U see, the irony is when ppl say “aurath ko chardeewari mei rakho” thats fine with me and I’ll be more than glad to do nothing, but sit home pretty (hhh…such lazy lux’ries’ :)tehee…) but the tragedy is, these days society is exactly opposite to what it was during the beloved Prophet’s (PBUH) supreme era. Women were well looked after, well provided, well sheltered, and well supported. So there was no need for them to go out in the open world. These days, if some still say that “oye, Ghar mei rako issay” tho ji wo kuch ziyada hee haqikath saay door rehtain hain. Kiyon kay in that case, they are kept indoors, but they are not provided with all that care and their requirments are not met according to the proper Islamic, and survival standards (never mind, totally different theory…).

Anyway, some other issues that freak ppl out to have a girl, are their lame (i Guess) horrors about the “Hayay Allah, Kahein naak na katwa baytay” misra. So if anything happens to a girl (is abused,raped, or is seen with a ghar mahrim which might be a totall “NO!” NO! in our society) is dub to have cause the whole family ultimate disgrace. Some one told me once, that girls are like delicate flower patels, one fierce touch, and they’re destroyed!

BoSS, these were among some of the -ive reasons I’ve noticed in this (apni) society, which cause ppl to scream their heads off upon the arrival of a baby girl in their lives.

Other things I’ve noticed big times is, that when it comes to ghayrat, some prefer to kill their girls when they are raped or so on…
Even if she is totally innocent. But irony is Islam never teaches that. So in conclusion some ppl in our society are more pressuriZed by the societal status quo, rather being “jawab-day” to Allah SWT in the akhira.

Personaly? Alhamdulilah, I have been brought up by very loving parents, My abu was so happy when I was born. When some dude sadly told him at the hospital,

" Sir ji, Ap ki bayti howee hai"

http://www.pak.org/gupshup/frown.gif

He got so cyced that he rewarded the person with $$$$ :)and started dancing (kidding, tehee..)
Alhamdulilah, I have two very caring, and sweet bro’s and well one hates me (cuz I make him do his h.w) but Abid and I are so crazy about each other. Got a lil’ sis, whoz the blonde, green eyed lado ji of the whole
family :)And Alahamdulilah, we are brought up with extreme attention and love. MashAllah! (Thank U so much Allah Jani…)

Oh, I love being a girl :)Life is very easy in alot of ways (for explaination, read the article posted on general section, “Tribute to all Muslimas…”)

Whew! Gotta stop writing thaaat much! Sorry

Till then,

Ps. Hey! Me thought the spanish gift was being rejected by W.B. Sigh :):):)haha!

Salaam Boss jee.

Frist of all, aap ka jawab parh ke soch ke qaash app mere bhai hote!

Jo main ne pehle lika tha woh meri soch nahin hain, sirf woh chand baaten jo main ne sunee hain logon se.

Aap ki baatoon se lagta hai (main galat bhi ho saqtee hoon) jaise aap kehna chah rahe hain ke beetiyoon ko napasand karne wale sirf mard hote hain, jabke aisa nahin hai. Main ne aurat ko aurat se yeh kehte bhi suna hai ke ' phir se betee hoi to talaq de di jaye ge'. Aur aisa hota hai!

Yoon bhi poraane waqtoon se log betee ki paidaish pe khud ko jhuka howa mehsoos karte hain - Koin ke jahan larkee ki shadi hoge wahan larkee wale hameysha ser JHUKA ker jayen ge, yeh baat kuch log pasand nahin karte.
Personly I feel ke, Aaj betee ya beta ho koi farq nahin parta, donon ko 'sanmbhalna' aik jaisa sabr aazma kaam hai.
Mard aur aurat ki izat baraber hai, agar aurat ki wajah se maan baap ki izat ho khatrah lahaq ho saqta hai to phir mard ki wajah se bhi. But then again, yeh kehne ki baat hai - ziyadah bazurg log aisa nahin samajhte.
I hope ke aane walee nasleen, jis main hum bhi shamil hain is masle ko behtar samajh sakain, aur soljha sagain.(Amen)

Hey doll behna add another behan, Sabah, to our list :)hey I'm good at this eh!

Daisy u brought up some good points like...

"Other things I've noticed big times is, that when it comes to ghayrat, some prefer to kill their girls when they are raped or so on..."

This is another issue I wanna discuss...how to treat with girls who get victimized...its a very serious issue and most of the men don't understand the psychological pressures the girl has to face after the unfortunate incident....killing the girl is very uncivilized and no where near "ghairat!" I've not brought thread this up yet cuz log kahaiN gay yeh BoSS to koi bohat hi fazool aadmi hai :)kaisay kaisay topic bhaijta rehta hai but i'll do that over the weekend hehe...so that i have time to defend it too...

Spanish gift! O mur gya! abhi tuk udhar hai d'oh..ok next time i'll bring you a bhabhi as a gift from Spain hehe...mera bhi kaam ho jaay ga :)

BoSS

Boss,

This person that you know; I feel sorry for him. That is all I can say. Bringing up a girl and doing that to the best of one's abilities is probably one of the most noble things one could do in life. I feel pitty for his attitude and himself.

Hamid

Hiyya there,
Salam W.B. (ustaz) :)

Hmm... waqi fazool say BoSS hain, hain na? (check out my recent post at "meeting new ppl" something for ya there).

Alrighto, good thinking BoSssHhh, I wished to bring up the issue too, but don't have the courage (me go Puk! Puk! PukAq!) :)
However, I shall be immensly grateful to u if its brought up. And If I have the 'courage' I might bring up a real life story that I happen to know, and still wonder about the fate of that girl's future :)

Till then,
Me goss Amigos! Oh & don't rush ur self about the Spanish gifty.Take ur time, for therez plenty of it to choose the right one! Sabr ka phal kiya hotha hai? :)

Adios!
Daysee Behna
