Islam for Women or is it?

I like that anology but it’s irrelavent here. Openning a door and asking us to be obedient are two different things! You can show kindness to us but it doesn’t do any good if you would tell us to keep our mouth shut and obey you!

How would you feel if you were in our position and read the Qur’an and felt -Wow! there’s a lot for men but not much for women, yes our existence is noticed but only so that we could cause no trouble for men in this man-dominating world. What is a wife supposed to do if she wants a divorce? A woman alone cannot divorce her husband without his consent according to Sharia, right?! How does that make any sense to you? So beating lightly or not will make no difference until the man allows his wife to divorce him- you call that justice?

The point is women are women, they are not children! You cannot treat women like children. If women were like children to these men we are speaking of, there wouldn’t have been sex slaves, 4 wives, and 72 virgins! Or do these men not know the difference?

Peace Miss_Noland

For sure it is relevant … If I open the door for you and insist “No, you first” then you can easily contest and say “why are you ordering me to go first?” … it does not happen because you understand my motive is to be polite.

Conversely I would never say “keep your mouth shut and obey me” in any instance, however, in some cases you have with respect, taken partiality to verses without fully understanding the motive behind them, I believe some translations also do not help, and some ignorant Muslim people using force do not help either.

The last part I am not going to answer, because I have already answered the part about treatment of women and the difference or similitude to children should not be taken as a negative. Conceptually it may sound odd, but in reality you will like your husband to be patient with you if you lose it on him. That is the same way we treat children.
