When it comes to women’s rights ajazali, there is no hope left in Pakistan. Despite not allowing a woman to work, men have NO issues living off of their wives’ father’s money or furnishing their homes maang maang ke. Literally I’ve seen women show their sons like a car in a showroom to get the best deal there is. Men not allowing women to work has less to do with Islam. Its a personal ego thing and lack of tarbiyat in Pakistani men.

Whether a man allows his wife to work or not is entirely between them. If he does not want her to, he is still responsible for all her needs and anything else she may desire. Indisputable. Even if she is working, he is still responsible for all of her material needs…he has no right to ask her for a penny.

What I have noticed in these men is that they would never want their daughters to be under the version of Islam that they promote and applied on their wives. It is so true. That is why we see so many girls getting higher education in Pakistan, because they dont want maulvis/maulvi mentality husbands for their daughters, even if they had been the ones practicing/promoting it on their wives. What I find ironic is the men promoting these Islamic laws that women can not work etc, would want their daughters to be doctors or engineers. They would never want their daughters to be maids to their damaad’s family. They would want their daughters to be completely independent and worthy/respected.
Most muslims are aware of how impractical (unrequired from Allah) it is to follow 1400 years old “culture” (Sorry, what they call Islam is just Arab culture and even arabs have had enough of this culture and are now moving forward, esp with women.). Hijab is just one example of culture dissolving with religion. No Allah does not want a muslim woman, for eg. in europe to dress in hijab. IT will bring more attention to her than a woman in jeans. Modesty is not hijab. Allah is very precise in his choice of words and as I read, He wisely uses the words “dress modestly”. He does not make it compulsory, or even afzal to choose only black as the color that women can wear. I do not support the be-ghairat culture promoted by west, but I also do not support the burka culture of muslims, unless it is worn by a woman as her choice. (I personally wear burka as a cultural requirement of living in ara country.)
