To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

..And i quote..

Ar-rijaalu qawwaamoona 'alaa an-nisaa’i bimaa fadh-dhala Allahu ba’dhahum 'alaa ba’dhin wa bimaa anfaqoo min amwaalihim. Fa as-saalihaatu qaanitaatun haafidhaatun lil ghaibi bimaa hafidha Allahu…}**{Men are in charge of women by that with which Allah has preferred some of them over others and by that which they spend from their property. So the pious women are obedient protecting in absence that which Allah has protected…} ***An-Nisaa:34”

*Enough said..

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

it's about protecting husband's property/wealth and her honour, right?

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

"Men are in-charge of women"...

The word "in-charge" itself indicates an authority figure that by its extenion needs to be obeyed

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

when you are in charge of something you take good care of it, you don't slave drive it.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

Right you take good care of it but you also expect obedience as well from a subordinate.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

yeah good luck with that buddy

i think some people have blown up their own egos to the point of no return when they feel there is any competition between them and a son/daughter's parents.

its stupid to think any woman will tolerate that...she might not leave you but she wont let you live your life in peace either

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

Well, I don't know what you mean by obedience but as a subordinate a woman's responsibility is to protect her husband's wealth and being sincere to him physically, as the verse explains to us.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

Its a give and take relationship. The wife is required to ask for husband's permission for even stepping out of the house, taking up job etc.. On the other hand, the husband does not have any right over wife's income, should provide her with living, should provide her separate living, should not force her to live in joint family, should not force her to care for the in-laws etc.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

i cant stop laughing at this...obey! you want her to obey you? let me give you some advice for the future...after you tell your wife you want her to obey you..make sure you dont eat, drink or sleep at home for the rest of your life. hide all sharp objects and keep all pesticides out of the kitchen.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

^haha...yeah it sounds so pharoaish... "OBEY ME WOMAN".

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband


Calm down reha. I'm just quoting from the Quran that says men are in-charge of women. Are you laughing at the Quarnic verse? That's disrespectful.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband


obediance means obeying the husbands wishes as an in-charge. How hard is this to understand.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

If I start quoting what a man is supposed to do from the Qur'an for his wife...........................you'd go broke.

So take care HotTea where you step.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

both wife and husband should obey each other.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband


sure, go ahead. It's only fair if quran makes me an in-charge of my woman, i'd fullfil the responsibilites as well as the quran lays them out.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

that's only YOUR interpretation. go and fool someone else!

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

well allah gave men special rights because they have greater responsibility. With greater comes responsibility for the man, comes the ability to become an incharge or a custodian for his woman.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband


Ask 10 random ppl on yours and mine intrepreation of "in-charge". We'll see who's right.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

it doesn't say anywhere that woman must obey every wish of her husband. it tells women to be obedient by protecting their husbands' money and by being faithful to them.

Go figure.

Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

You know every man who thinks like you is single...not a single one married. Its because women usually dont take that kind of BS and if they do the men end up paying a price for it. Ive seen men who got married and said the same things only to now amend how wrong they were in trying to force themselves on their wives.

You are not God. You did not give birth to your wife. You are a husband...a companion whose reality is just a mere piece of paper. You should realize exactly how precarious your situation is and do your best to maintain a level of respect with your wife.

Men have RESPONSIBILITIES...not even half as many RIGHTS as a woman does if you really start to look carefully.
