[QUOTE]Originally posted by *Dalia*: [QB] Hi pinkmoon [QUOTE]Originally posted by pinkmoon: [qb] However, if a Christian husband requested his Muslim wife to purchase alcohol and serve him pork, to wear mini skirts and kiss his friends since it is his custom to kiss the wives of his friends. It is natural for a wife to try to please her husband. In the case of the Muslim wife, that could lead to the destruction of her faith. Answer: This argument is ridiculous, check the info below:[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree that the argument is ridiculous, but I disagree with the "info below" because I don't believe that a Muslim woman has to obey her husband "in all matters except those that go against religion." The point is ... marriage is not about rules and obeying. Two adult people willing to enter a relationship will discuss those matters and others prior to marriage, that's normal and doesn't only happen with issues relating to religion. Just think of a vegetarian marrying a non-vegetarian. This will only be a problem if one of them is really fanatic about their diet, otherwise it will be no big deal and they can reach a compromise. So issues like pork or no pork, does the husband want his wife to wear a miniskirt (which I find a bit of a ridiculous suggestion anyway, as if all Christian men want their wives to wear miniskirts :rolleyes: ), kissing friends or not, are something every couple can talk about and find a solution they both feel comfortable with. If their opinions on those or other issues differ too much, they will probably not be very compatible anyway. Why make such a big deal out of it? Btw., it is often Muslim men in relationships with Christian women who try to change their wifes beliefs, want them to convert etc. I've even read fatawa which stated that a Muslim man should not allow his wife to go to church and that he should not allow her to celebrate any Christian holidays in their home. So the whole argument that a Muslim husband will automatically be tolerant of his Christian wife's faith is nonsense. [i]Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal was asked about a man who had a Christian wife – could he let her go out to join in the Christian festivals or to go to the church? He said, no. In al-Mughni (1/21), Ibn Qudaamah says: “(Treatment of women): If his wife is a dhimmiyyah [a Jew or Christian living under Islamic rule], he can prevent her from going to the church, because that is not an act of obedience to Allaah.” [/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
