Answer 2

>>>When a Muslim woman sys she is happy, shows intelligence and says her husband treats her like a queen and loves her all of the sudden a sea of people are ready to say: It is not true>>>

I don't say that, and I don't believe that most other people do either. The ones who do say that are morons.

Answer 3

After having lived in various cultures, including Islamic societies, I've come to the conclusion that marriages are about the same everywhere. Some are good; some are bad. Of those, some are absolutely wonderful, and some are hell on earth.

I used to look at the divorce rate in America and the divorce rate in other countries, and I used to wonder -- why are they happier?

Turns out, they're not. It's just that Americans who are in hell-on-earth marriages have more options. We can get out. Some other societies -- not necessarily Muslim ones -- don't offer that option.

I think it's ignorant for people to assume that because your a Muslim your marriage must be horrible. That's ridiculous.

But in answer to your question, "Why do people do this?" it comes from hearing so many stories about women in hellish marriages who had no option but to stay and suffer through the escalating abuse. And abusers do escalate, believe me.

To assume that all Muslim men are abusive is bigotry. Options, on the other hand, are countable.

Answer 4

Humans have been taught that things covered up are covered for a reason, (ugly, diseases, evil, secrets, all the stories creatures that live in the dark, etc.)
To be covered up and happy, beautiful goes against what people are expecting. I am glad many are happy.
You do not light a candle and cover it with a basket, you put it up high to shine for all to see. Type of thinking. Europe and "western" thinking. (Not familiar with India/eastern thinking).
Also:
Muslim woman are normal women(?) - this is a brain teaser/trick as NO women are normal! (Too confusing!)

Answer 5

I've never heard of a muslim women not being believed when she says her husband is wonderful. It is common in muslim countries to have the women get prosecuted. There is a sterotype, but i don't think people think about it all that much.

Answer 6

I don't know. I have never considered Muslim women to be oppressed. I don't believe any husband and wife should be violent to each other, ever. There is never a need for this. Spouses should be the best thing any person has on this earth, considered a gift from God.

Answer 7

People are full of hate and pride. As the coming of our Lord and Savior draws near the Bible states that the hearts of men will become desperately wicked. It is no surprise to those who are faithfully studying the scriptures because in it you find truth about the past and the future. I will pray for you, because I know that Muslims have it pretty hard in the West now. The good news is that God knows all our trials and He feels our pain and He will save us soon.

Answer 8

People generalize. They assume no one knows more than they do. Thank God you are treated well. That on its own is blessing. Now women don´t get beaten in far away lands. People right here are getting hurt by those that promised to care for them. So don´t let those things surprise you. You will notice that people like to believe what they want to believe.

Answer 9

You see the problem is that women are put on a pedestal in muslim countries. You'd think that would be a good thing, but the problem is; it's a long way down off the pedestal.
Take honor killings, they are a perfect example of how islam treats women. Here is a victim that is not only victimized twice, but her very existence is wiped from the earth. Why? Because she was a victim of a crime.
Does that make sense? Not at all. Yet islamic countries continue to turn a blind eye to it.

Answer 10

I can believe that is true for some.

But when I look at Saudi law that is heavily influenced by Islam, it is unquestionably oppressive to women.

Do I think that some women there are brainwashed into thinking that it is OK--Yes. That doesn't mean that I can't see they are treated about the same as we treat our pets.

Answer 11

there is spousal abuse in every culture if some muslim woman says she was beaten she better learn to keep her mouth shut next time(just kidding) beating your wife is wrong most men that beat their women are just punks afraid of beating a man thats what ive noticed
