DEAR MUSLIMAH SALAM SISTER
I AM A MUSIM FEMALE ALSO, AND I DO PRAY 5 TIMES, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER MATTER OF ISLAM -BUT EXISTING TO PLEASING YOUR HUSBAND AND WELL, BEING A SLAVE TO ALLAH IS OK, BUT DOING EVERYTHING YOUR HUSBAND SAYS, WHEN YOU HAVE MORE FREEDOM NOT BEING MARRIED. I KNOW CULTURE DOES HAVE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS WHICH EFFECT MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS, BUT THATS WITH EVERYONE-AND ITS FROM ISLAM MOSTLY, ESP WHERE YOU HAVE TO PLEASE YOUR HUSBAND IN EVERY WAY- AND CANT SAY NO TO SEX- I MEAN COME ON- IF HE CANT WAIT- GO GET IT ELSEWHERE -I DONT CARE- I CAN HONESTLY SAY THERE ARE TIME YOU JUST DONT WANT SEX- AND WELL, WOMEN UNLIKE MEN DONT WANT TO ALL THE TIME- WHICH IS OF COURSE, NOT HARAM, THEN GETTING MARRIED TO BE THE SLAVE OF A MAN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IS WELL, NOT WHAT ANY SESNSIBLE PERSON WOULD WANT TO DO?
I HAVE ASKED MANY PEOPLE TO CONVINCE ME BEFORE, BUT SO FAR, I DONT SEE THE BENEFITS OF GETTING MARRIED AND ESPECIALLY THE ISLAMIC WAY OF MARRIAGE- AND THE DUTIES ON THE WOMAN-
WHATS WRONG WITH HAVING CASUAL SEX AND NOT EXPECTING A RELATIONSHIP- HOW IS THAT DISGRACEFUL ?
RATHER THAN GETTING MARRIED AND BEING A BURDEN ON YOUR HUSBAND BECAUSE YOUR PERSONALITY IS FAR TOO INDEPEDANT TO TOLERATE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO CONSTANTLY BY A MAN
OVERALL, BEING BORN A WOMAN AND MUSLIM IS A MAJOR DISADVANTAGE - AND HOW MUCH EVER YOU TRY TO CONVINCE YOURSELF ITS NOT- YOU WILL FIND OUT ONE DAY-SURELY
