I was reading in the other thread where Hassan007 stated “She can work if she wants to..but that money goes to her pocket..and the way i see it…guys have no right on his wife’s money.”
Do you agree with this?
I mean once married, the income whether earned by the man or the woman, belongs to the couple. If the wife has career aspirations and has a rewarding job and she “chooses” to work over staying at home then why should the money be ONLY hers to keep?
Re: Wife's Earnings
NO. It should be couple's money and not WIFE's to keep.
If she chooses to pursue her career of course she will do it at some cost (kids might have to stay at day care or father has to cook food every now and then). If its OK to expect from guy to help in household work load, why is it not expected from girl to share her earnings?
I was talking about..even Islamic point of view as well. It is our job to take care of our women for whatever means. And you know what i have noticed?. That our women pitch in anyways here and there and even extent to help their husbands with bills etc (when they work). So no big deal. But we men..should be men...and take care of our women.
yeah they do pitch in with bills etc and SHOULD.
so much for "to be a man"..... it should be a two way traffic and btw going by islam opens whole new discussion here. Islams also has a role set for women :)

Re: Wife's Earnings
I am not sure where you find in Islam that it is the SOLE responsibility of the man to provide for the family, earning-wise. Any reference from the Quran? I am not arguing one way or the other.
Re: Wife's Earnings
People can do what suites them as long as it don't hurt any one.
I think as principle goes. Woman's only "job" is comfort her husband and raise their kids.
If I am not wrong.
1-A man can not touch woman's inherited property.
2-Man has to provide.
3-Women can ask for money when breaking the contract(marriage)
4-She can even ask for compensation for feeding the babies.
Women are very well protected, only if they know their rights.

Those wives also don't mind second, third and fourth wives for their man I suppose.
Re: Wife's Earnings
I know how it goes. Now I get slaughter by guys who are ok to use their wife's money. But I said nothing but the truth.
Re: Wife’s Earnings
lol, guys who use wive’s money.
some people use their wives as cooks, maids, servants… is that OK?
PS. Women, stay out of this thread. It has turned into a man v man debate. :evil:

I thought they would have to give back money (mehr) for dissolving the marriage? Or am I mixing up something here? Otherwise I agree with what you've said.

and whats wrong in this if guy has to pay for child care or hire a made JUST because wife is going out to work? Why is it OK for guy to cook and raise kids and not ok to take a share from girls money?
and again, I am talking keeping islam ouf of this for now because if we go by book, girls have to give up many things and take up many things ...
naheen FG
read that again, let me quote it
"Woman's only "job" is comfort her husband and raise their kids."
none of it is about being a maid or a cook or a cleaner.
Having said that I don't believe there is any restriction if wife wants to contribute actively in family, in terms of money.
Re: Wife's Earnings
not sure about all the points Monk had, but at least the 1st one is true...
'To men belong what they earn, and to women what they earn.' (an-Nisa': 32)
it boils down to the couple...whatever they're comfortable with...they shouldn't be expected to share...if they do, great! but they don't have to...women can decide to keep their earning themselves for whatever :)
and yea, i'm sure there's something mentioned somewhere about men being the providers for the family (hence taking care of their wives and children)...if i find it, will post it here...
Re: Wife's Earnings
One last thing before I leave this thread.
According to a survey men who believe women should stay home, on avg make 13% more then those men who wants their spouses to work.
This servery was done on amreekan men, I wont know the Pakistani dynamics about it.
Re: Wife's Earnings
They make 13% more because the income tax bracket is lower for single earning couples.
This survey means nothing.

Re: Wife's Earnings
So this thread comes to a conclusion on Page 1.
See what I mean when you let men figure it out without women intervention. :p
