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.
