So my question to you dear friends on Gupshup is quite simple.
When a muslim woman is running out of ideas in court during divorce proceedings in the US, why does she play the “oppression” card? I have seen it time and time again where she will accuse the man of being a fundamentalist, and here you just have to utter that word and it’s over. Unfortunately we muslims have portrayed ourselves negatively where all women are seen as poor lifeless souls who are merely existing because our men beat us. (

What oppression? I’ve seen 2 very close cases where the women are having a ball, advancing their careers on their husband’s income, riding luxury cars, wearing designer clothing, going on vacations with friends, hiring maids, etc…and yet they are oppressed? Like how. Someone please explain to me because I really don’t understand.
And no, I don’t know what goes on inside their homes but a truly oppressed woman is one who cannot leave her house to pursue any personal gains, or is a victim of unjust power. In the cases I mention, maybe the spouses don’t get along, maybe the guy sucks as a husband, but oppression? Why lie? Just say, hey, he’s a terrible husband and I don’t want to live with him?
