Wow CC, you really freak out.
Actually when I read what you posted, the hadith supports the post you preceeded it with asking why would a women want to do that?
I am a woman, and I know what our our faults, and the hadith is true. Although Im not sure about the translation you posted, as I recall the hadith sayng the reason was for spreading gossip, and being ungrateful to our husbands. Most any women's gathering eventually ends up with talking about so-and-so, and complaining about the husbands shortcomings. In any case, I am thankful really for the hadith because trying to keep myself into falling into the type of behavior specified in it not only will save me from hellfire, but will make me a better human in this life too. Shouldn't we try to improve ourselves? There is nothing wrong with acknowledging our shortcomings, it is when we attempt to play perfect that we fall into troubles.
Our religion does not sugar-coat anything, and it does not hide anything.
As for the inheritance, the women only get half of what the men get because it is the men's responsibility in front of God to take care of her needs, and she will not have to use her money to pay for her basic needs, but they will be taken care of for her by her male reletives. His money must be used to take care of her, but her money is hers to do anythng she chooses with it.
