WOMEN IN ISLAM

MARRIAGE IN ISLAM or Eastern world has not fully recognized the superior role of women. MUTUAL TRUST When any task is assigned to two people, mutual trust is required to complete the task successfully. Mutual trust between a husband and wife is essential to build a home successfully. No good home is ever made without mutual trust between a husband and a wife. One may ask why most couples lack mutual trust. It is because neither is wholly committed towards the other in their relationship, despite being married. Such a relationship that is lacking in commitment results in the formation of a psychological barrier between husband and wife. Therefore, both are responsible for this lack of mutual trust in their relationship. The woman’s fault lies in her failure to adapt to and identify with her new family— her husband’s. She continues to cling to her parents. Her failure to adapt to her new family is reflected in her words and actions, which naturally creates resentment on the part of her husband. On the other hand, the man’s failure lies in his obsession with the concept of the ‘ideal woman.’ He often finds his wife falling short on many counts when he measures her by the parameters of the ‘ideal woman.’ These are the obstacles mostly inherent in a man and a woman that come in the way of building mutual trust
