Very Important....Urgent

[Ali]

Assalaamoalaikum

I was reading a book, and in that book was a quote.

Katie Rophie wrote an article for Esquire in which she discussed this paradox

"Seen from outside, my life is the model of modern female independance...... But sometimes seems like my independance is in part an elabarotly constructed facade that hides [b:c0f21c1961]a more traditional feminine desire to be protected and provided for[/b:c0f21c1961]" [/quote:c0f21c1961]Who could understand women better than Allah who created women?

That's why islam tells women their role in the society.

Well having said that I myself didn't see many men in Pakistan who had more than one wife, and it is considered kind of a taboo (which it shouldn't be), but as I came here I came to know that there is a growing number of Muslim women (reverts, non reverts) who want to get married to religious men, and would be happily the second wife. Recently in one chat room I came across a lady who said that her husband apostated, and now she lives with her children alone (somewhere in austrailia and is a revert), when I asked her if she would be willing to be a second, or third wife, she said yes.

And in reality what if one of our sister gets widowed in a young age, would you marry her to a brother who can take care of her, or force her to live her life being alone.

I encourage good muslim brothers, who can afford another wife, to get married. There are a lot of sisters who are in financial need, and want moral and family support.

I am sorry my grammer is inexorable, but I would think that you get the gist?

I am distraught myself, Its not easy for me to instill islamic teachings into my sibling's understanding. I was raised in a place, where we did not have all these ways of going astray. The biggest threat to us was TV, but these days there are so many ways for the youth to go astray. Its really hard to de-brainwash my siblings, after they come home from 6 hours in school (American brainwashing system).
