Re: The good Pakistani wife
You should marry someone whom you are attracted to and who has a stable career. But they should be god-fearing as well. They should fear Allah and put Him before their own ego and desires…which Amina’s husband ain’t doin. The older I get the more truer it seems to be that taqwa is important in a marriage. Amina’s mom tells her daughter to “trust Allah” after learning of her son-in-law’s infidelity. So faith is being now emphasized after the problem has occurred…but was faith a quality that was looked for from the get-go? I’m not exempting husband for blame nor am I saying that the infidelity is the fault of Amina and her family. I read the article once before and then I went back reread it up until the part that I have quoted above…because that stuck out for me as well.
