Show her what God says in the Bible. This might be a good time to show her and tell her the Gospel. Muslims should know the Gospel, as they believe Jesus was a prophet, but not the son of God or Messiah. The are still instructed to keep the words of all the prophets holy.

Remind her that all religions hide the fact that for thousands of years God was always considered to be a woman called Goddess. Around the time that Judaism got it's start God was changed into a man, by men. Since then all scriptural writings have been done by men and the religions have become male dominant and try (some more than others) to oppress women. When Religion changed God's gender religion violence got its big start. The Koran along with both Bible Testaments and other religious writings are the words of men who naturally favored themselves when they wrote them. It's time for a updated translation of the Koran to be written by women.

i'm a muslim and believe me marriage problems(so i called) do occur in every marriage.either muslim or not.when u said the husband keep using The Quran as a tool,it's just too general.maybe the problems is much much deeper and bigger.The Quran never said to violate your spouse or family or anyone else.

i think the problems is,either:
1.the husband is a maniac or overboard.there's always people that act too much.in this case,the husband actions.
2.the wife.maybe she tend or want to do that 'Haram' in Islam?as example...like to dress unproperly (aurat).The Quran said 'haram' not the husband.in Islam,it is the husband responsibilty to guide and take care of their wife.the husband is doing his own job according to The Quran.

i think if u doesnt know the real problem is,stay away.
but if u do..(and understand Islam is a must),please do!
but,if this situation wiil lead to beating or domestic violence..please save her.Islam never thought that.

Ewwwww, that's a hard one. My husbands sister is married to an Iranian. He's not even Muslim but he has that same Middle East mentality. If she is Muslim too it would be hard for her to argue any of the points he's making straight from the Koran. I wonder if she believes in the Muslim translation of what marriage should be. You might want to just support her in every way possible and be there to listen.

I am muslim and if she does not want to she does not have to live with him. it says in quran that if two people are not happy together or one of them is not happy she/he can ask for a divorce. its a long process if u live in asian countries because of the way there court system works but here if she lives in USA all she has to do is file for a divorce like any other person would. And please no one follows koran that closely. every one pretends to but if u ask me we dont follow half of the stuff in it. My dad tried that and my mom just told him to shut up, koran says guys are greater because they bring the money home for food but in this world when girls and guys both work we are all equal!

Monkey...dont blame Islam just by looking at these cases...Islam suggest that husband should ensure the happiness of his wife by giving a place to sleep. a food and cloth...one the couple married it is the reposibility for the husband to fullfill his wife needs...and as for the wife, she shold always keep the happiness of her husband...in term of sex and so on...if not that why we alyaws hear about devorced, unfaithful married couple and so on...
for your friends case it it is the man whoe should be blamed, not Islam

Unfortunately there is not much you can do as a third-party other than open your home to her. If she choses to leave her husband, she will likely be ostracized by other members of her community and may have nowhere else to turn.

The law's very strict..... depends on the country she's living in. If it's in Asia, it's rather difficult to just "run away", but some countries like the U.S. protect their citizens well, regardless of their religion....

Womens shelters are the best place to go. Not only will they help with legal difficulties, but also intervene if necessary with children.
