Domestic Responsibilities In A Muslim Household
Islam instructed women to accept men as their qawwaam Ans be obedient to them. Now it is our social norms and individual requirements which tell us what functions man and woman should adopt to run a house smoothly. Different societies and different individual requirements may demand different roles. Therefore Islam did not specify them.
When we say that women are made to obey men, what is the extent to this? Are women made to obey men even if the ideologies of men and women are poles apart? What if the man puts his foot down over some dispute and the wife is totally against it, what should be the wife attitude to this?
