Re: to work or not to work

Its exactly for reasons like that, that one should ask the prospective husband to be what his take is on things like that. I knew clear in my mind that I did not want to work after marriage and made that clear to any prospective rishta. Some people ran away because of that, but its better to clear these things at the start. Regarding whether she should work or not, then yes, what you say is true. According to Islam, she has a right to stay at home and she has right to maids as well. There is also no law that bounds her to work.

Prospective can change. Asking this before or after marriage can sometimes be useless as situations change and so do people. Also, according to Islam, I believe it is best for her to adjust to what her husband would like her to do. I am also married with kids and work, it is nice to have the financial freedom.
