I want 2 know what kind of role islam expects girls 2 do after marriage and their position?
Wife ---> Mother ----> Kitchen.... :)
if u do a little search on the thread u will find a thread on the topic not very old....
Can i qualify that?
Wife → raise a family → take care of the entire family → manage a household → balance everyone’s needs → ensure the household is genuinely ‘successful’ in every sense of the word → look after the wants and needs of every other member before herself.
Nothing can be more important than that, and probably nothing can be more challenging.
yep…
but it all comes down to how well one has faced the challenge…
and its interesting how many ‘wives’ dont even go to step 2, so much for the challenge…
but yes, it is magnificent, otherwise u wud not find the paradise lying at their feet…

I think women are capable of much much more then that and have proven that again and again. Islam DOESN'T close the woman behind the walls of the house but encourges them to get out there and help and work side by side and shoulder to shoulder with men in building a greater society and civilzation.
Our human history also shows that when women were included in the work force, those civilizations just jumped revolutions after revolutions and now are ruling the world.
so, ya i agree with the Nadia_H, but also think that they have much more strength and capabilities then that
i hate the word "duty" - gives a woman's role in society a negative connotation, hints at bondage (not that kind, folks...)
my friend told me to go stationary shopping and stock up for life b4 u get married

If you are talking about today who is "ruling" today's world and pointing to American women joining the "work-force" ... there are many other countries where women work "outside" their home but yet there is no such thing as "revolutions". Look at Bengladesh, Sri Lanka for example, Phillipine or other "3rd" world countries. Also remember, if both man and woman decide to work then the "family" balance is lost.
Also look at the family system of those countries where you see "revolutions". If you don't value family, that is a different issue.
Re: Wife’s duties and place in Islam
Nadia_H ,PCG, ,changes_like ,andall
I want all of u to know that it is not necessary or a compulsion for a married women to work and do the whole household things in islam..
we people in many cases make assumptions bout islam which are not true..
it is not even compulsory for a women to cook … but if she wants to as a good will or for the comfort of her husband then it’s ok..
+++ there are many things which we are unaware of..
i came across many when i joined the tafseer lectures …
^ You are very right :k:
A man need to provide everything to his wife. Wife is not required to do the house work. If the wife is working and earning then all she earns is her and she can spend where ever she wants, no obligation on her.Only duty of wife in islam is to remain faithful to her husband, keep him satisfied and raise his children nicely. If a woman can do this while doing job or business, then islam has no problem with it.
Well, maybe not “required”. Maybe that’s not the right word.
i am not certain of this topic well enough to comment on it, but i always thought that that was part of the shared responsibilities (not just for wives, but for husbands as well).
And what husband earns, he has to spend on her.

I didn't mean to say that it is "Farz" or "required" by women to stay in house and be responsible for all the household and upbringing of children. I only suggested that women are better equipped to do that, IMO.
It is husband’s duty to support his family, not just wife. But the wife has no such obligation to support family or earn for herself.
In islam, Man has to provide separate house for wife. She is not required to live with inlaws. Husband is required to provide servernt for house work. If wife Voluntarily wana do it then it is fine.
Man is required to financially support his parents when they are old, Women are not required to do this. If they do it will be considered Virtuous on thier part.
And then haven is beneath the feet of mother, not father. The children are required to follow mother’s orders. The mother has veto powers 
Yet Woman have their share in inheritance of their relatives.
And, then the conclusion is ‘Islam oppress women’ 
^^
Very True. Code Red …

Surely to keep him satisfied she would need to cook for him and wash and iron his clothes. Thats housework isnt it?
Any references?
In our 10th grade Pak Studies book, in the first chapter, it said that it is not the duty of the wife to cook and maintain the house personally but it is incumbent on the husband to provide servants if he can...
we couldn't believe it...but our teacher told us yeah its true!
all of us, a class of 45 girls, had a good laugh that day at the irony of it
Sounds good but id like to have some proof before I give this information to my husband. :p
I found the following response from islam-qa.com, anyone interested can follow the link
About women having servants the following hadith is quite interesting.
