[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i also read someone say that after divorce the only recourse of a muslim woman is to go back to her father's house. Again, stop spreading things that you do not know about, just because you read a book or studied next to XYZ, yadidyada doesn't make you the expert on this or even remotely know what you are talking about. Case in point, I am a muslim woman, a Divorced Muslim woman at that and no I never went back to my daddy's house, I live alone. So let me break it down to you so you will get it a bit, a muslim woman has the OPTION not the OBLIGATION ( know the difference?) to go back to her father's house if she is divorced and the father has the OBLIGATION to take her in if she chooses to do so, you know like those options they sell in the stock market :) why? This was done to protect women, so they will never have to resort to prostitution or homelessness just because they are divorced or single mothers. A muslim woman always has the choice to go back to her parents house and they will have to take care of her if she can't do it on her own.[/quote] Did your marriage, divorce and subsequent living-alone take place in a shariah-compliant community or in the West? If the latter, stop pretending your story is what Islam should be about. Actually, stop pretending your story is a proof of anything. Islam is what it is quite irrespective of what Muslims do. "This happened to me and I'm a Muslim woman" does not equal "this is what Islam says should happen to women." I've said it before but people seem not to listen. Islam does not recognize marital property. With your husband free to divorce you at any time with only three months of maintenance, yes, your father's house better remain an option. If marital assets were split down the middle, fewer women would be threatened by prostitution or homelessness, don't you think? [quote=Anonymous] The prophet saw did not use cars at this time so I guess since we Muslims take him as a role model we should all mount our camels and ride around, because you know we MODEL EVERYTHING he did [/quote] If that wasn't at least partially true, you wouldn't in this day and age see men walking around in highwater pants five inches above their ankles, and Halalco wouldn't do a brisk trade in miswaks.
