Bigotry:
The Dark Danger

Any woman who asks her husband for a divorce
with no good reason will be deprived of even

smelling the scent of paradise. (Reported by Tirmid-
hi, 2/329, abwab al-talaq, 11; Ibn Hibban, 9/490,

Kitab al-nikah, bab ma'ashirah al-zawjayn)

There are three people whose prayers will not be
accepted, neither their good works: … a woman

whose husband is angry with her, until he is
pleased with her again … (Reported by Ibn Hibban

in his Sahih, 12/178, Kitab al-ashribah, 2, fasl
fi'l-ashribah)

She who does not observe the rights of her hus-
band will have failed to observe the rights of

God. (Shir'a)

In the mentality of the fanatics, women have an
obligation to abide by the ignorant idea of "performing
wifely duties" for their husbands, even if they are not
happy with their treatment and morality.
