Recently I read a comment of a convert muslim woman who complained about womens status in the muslim society , saying that she felt women are usaully treated less than men or hidden as a shameful thing .She explianed that if its not for her knoweldge of womens role in Quran and how much freedom and respect is given to them ,she would have left Islam .
Now that is SHAMEFUL... for our muslim socity to stay in the strains of the preislamic way of thinking ,or in an era of history when illetracy spreaded amongst the muslim society and traditions became religion .Yes ,despite the rights and freedom given to women in many aspects of life in our society ,there is still this look at women as subordinates to men.She should get married to anyone,being married is always better than not .She shouldnt get divorce if shes is suffering as a wife because there is nothing worse than being a"divorced woman" ,so stay married even to a monster..if her husband cheats on her " oh come on, he a man ,just let it go " but if SHE does the same ,she will be literaly "eaten " .And of course the man who respects and honers his wife is either weak or simple .All these views are never islamic or even close to islam.
If you study these ideas carefully you will found that they have no religious background but only social one.The treatment of prophet Mohammed pbuh for women was totally the opposite and Quran and Sunnah are full of recommendations to treat woman nicly.But in a sociaty where books, programs and lectures are being held to teach "the husbands right ,the sins of disobaying him and how to be the best wife" and lays no equal pressure on men to do the same .Nobody expalins to him his wifes rights ,women need for respect and passion and his role in marrige. So whenever the wife complains , she is just " nagging"as all women does and the strangest thing is that sometimes his mother "which is a women of course" is the one who encourages him to disrespect his wife and keep his " manhood" which means according to the twisted way of thinking ,not to show any mercy or spoil his wife or even smile in her face,because she would control him. It is not marrige its war..
