Monthly Allowance Of A Wife
Well avoid judging me without knowing and comparing with Shah bano or anyone. And you are right about Mehr etc. It’s not about you and me. I asked about a woman who was married for 40 years and she neither worked nor asked for anything other than the needs of her family and when kids grown big and got married the husband decided to marry another woman and left her with nothing. At her time, Mehr was very minimal and they were from a middle class. So that’s why I thought to ask what does islam say on this?? Wife can take divorce and she’ll be empty handed or accept the other woman which will ruin her mental peace. If she didn’t do part time or full time work and her worth is zero after giving 40 years of her life for the family whereas her husband had his career and has enough money for himself then it’s kind of unfair with her. So what steps can girls take? What does islam tell us on this?
