Venting/Dissing of spouse and inlaws

Re: Venting/Dissing of spouse and inlaws

Typical. When it comes to rights, you’d like the rights a western society gives to a woman. When it comes to responsibilities, Islam comes in. You’d like rights given by western values and Islam to a woman but wouldn’t want to take responsibilities from either.

My (western) flatmate splits all expenses (including laundry, snacks, and even movie tickets :stuck_out_tongue: ) with her wife 50:50 but then contributes to household chores too. In return she gets all the rights a western society gives her and is not expected to cook regularly, for example. If she wants the desi kind of rights, then she’ll have to bear desi kind of responsibilities too.
