Sexism In Islam?
Can you please share the credible survey stating what you mentioned? Secondly, husband taking part is household chores is basically the part of egalitarian; both partners are maintaining the house instead of just leaving it to women/wives. Once this is introduced, please tell me what else is there a difference left?
Brother Muhammad. I am sharing real life experiences; not hypothetical ones. Also, I am not saying a man has the right to make decision. The arguments is mutual decisions in every aspect of life verses one person having a right to override a decision. 1. Since it is equal relationship, the money earned by both is shared and can’t be spent without the mutual decision, so there is conflict whether a wife or a husband can or cannot spend money on his/her parents. 2. You can’t pre-decide everything. Many things come up later in life and scenarios arise. Don’t go on a single example, but there are numerous examples. 3. It is rare and I have yet to see where husband wants to stay away from wife’s family. Set my comment aside for a moment. still the point is not who the request to move away from parents comes from and why, the point is that an uncompromising issue comes that can’t be mutually resolved. Now how to make a decision. I am not saying the husband or the wife. The point is one person having the ultimate decision rights vs. both have to always decide. There can’t be consensus in everything. Sometimes one person has to give up and sometimes the other, but what to do in an uncompromising issues. 4. I am not aligned with your assessment. The purchase requires husband to take the second job. The husband is already earning 4 times more money than the wife.
It is a great favor and blessing for women that someone is made reponsible to take care of them. On the other hand, it is a big responsibility on men to take care of women financially , physically, and psychologically. The way I see the facts are that except for the burden of child birth, all other responsibilities are on men.
