        vidual to want to be loved exclusively.
             In societies of ignorance, jealousy, especially in married life, causes

        much anxiety. A woman of such a tendency, who hears of the love her
        husband has for his mother, father, sisters, friends and even his chil-
        dren, may become a cause of misery for her. Such women do not want
        their husbands to love anyone else more than, or even as much, as he
        loves them.
             A second type of jealousy that such housewives experience comes
        from the fact that they are aware of the corrupted perception of mar-

        riage in ignorant society. There is no genuine love or faithfulness in any
        union that is not based on the love and fear of Allah, and on seeking His
        pleasure. It is because ignorant women are aware of this that they ex-
        pect being deceived at any moment, and live in fear of being neglected.
        For this reason, they regard everything that happens with suspicion, be-
        coming overwhelmed with tense feelings and jealousy.
             Instead of improving the situation, their behavior makes things
        worse, and often makes even the problem itself worse. They try to send
        their partner a message with their erratic behavior, contrariety and iras-

        cibility. They tend to derive complicated insinuations from the most
        trivial circumstances, and then form definite conclusions on the basis of
        the scenarios they imagine. But, this behavior only makes their lives
        more miserable. Moreover, contrary to the desired results, they succeed
        only in driving their partner farther away from them. Because living
        with a person without knowing when the next outburst will occur, and
        what kind of false conclusion she will jump to, makes for a very un-

        happy co-existence. For this reason, the obsessive jealousy of house-
        wives in the ignorant societies usually ends with the breakup of the
        marriage.
