Concept Of Qawwam And It's Misuse By Men
Islam doesn’t allow or endorse anything unethical. It doesn’t allow zulm and mistreatment. Qwwamiat is a responsibility which requires one to be more caretaking and compassionate rather than becoming a bully, just like the head of the state towards his or her people. Being subordinate doesn’t mean that one can’t argue for one’s rights and is not allowed to suggest a thing. Servitude should not be a part of the family system. The essentials of a good family is love and compassion which creates love and respect, not fear and disgust.
