The ideal husband or wife beater?

In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

“And love with them (wives) honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allaah brings through it a great deal of good.” Q4:19

One of the essences of marriage is to put an end to depression and not to start it. The Islamic marital system is so perfect that it neither leaves no room for any oppressive and abusive relationship nor does it allow for a dominating one but rather it advocates for a mutually balanced union that serves as a cushion against all troubles.

However, if both parties are oblivious of their duties and responsibilities, the society is bound to face a troubling rise in the number of failed marriages and unfortunate unions.

The contemporary society has inherited a cultural baggage for its recent past, this cultural baggage seeks to exaggerate rights of husband at detriment of rights of the wife.

Islam not only gave women rights but also heights. The Prophet said: “Fear Allaah with regard to women, for you have taken them as a trust from Allaah”. Narrated by Muslim
