I never said there was Marital Property in Islam, in case of a divorce, the wife leaves with her wealth and the husband with his wealth, I guess in your world HUSBANDS are always wealthy and Wives are poor so yes it would be traumatic not to get any of your husband's property. In the real world wives come in marriages with their own personal property that is protected by Shariah so that the husband has no right to it in case of a divorce AND in the real world, wives actually can be wealthier than their husbands which if it happened in the west, stated wives would lose some of their personal property to the poor husband they married. Basically you are trying to use this as if the women are the losers in a rule like this because poor them, they won't get anything out of a marriage. You do know that WEALTHY people in the WEST use this thing called a PRENUP that protects their assets in case of a divorce, right? You do know that you can get zero if that is what the prenup said, right? and you do know that that is the LAW. And we don't use marriage as a way to get rich, if you want personal property, work for it, be independent, you don't need to depend on a man, have your own wealth and this my friend will never be a problem in your life.

In the real world wives also act as homemakers, raising the husband's children and taking care of his house - a role which Islam encourages - so they don't have an independent income apart from their family's assets.

I'm curious: what words of comfort would you give to a homemaker wife who spent thirty years cooking, cleaning and raising children, and is now about to be divorced with nothing but three months of maintenance? [b]To go back to her father's house[/b]?[/quote]

That is generally what happens.  What else can she do?  Most Muslim countries don't have (or have very few) women's shelters[/quote]
