Women will get something exceptional in Paradise
Many scholars say that in context, the word hoor used in the Qur’an refers only to ladies since gents are addressed. A reply that would be accepted by all types of people would rather be the answer given in the Hadith when a similar question was posed that if a man gets a hoor, a beautiful Maiden in Paradise, then what will the women get? The reply was that the women will get that which the heart has not desired for, the ear hasn’t heard off and the eye hasn’t seen, indicating that even the women will get something exceptional in Paradise.

your description of the differences, they provoke the idea of double standards(1 thing for men and another for women) now if you are an open individual which i think you might be....you have to look at the neglect of the proper attention to both gender's responsibilities to each other.are men and women equal YES are the the same NO....i do not advise myself to force feed you things that you can obtain by yourself(if you are sincere) which i think you are buy the Quran read for yourself and your conclusion is yours alone..nothing based on assumptions or guesswork carries any weight.

Your right, suicide bombers are told that they will be presented on arrival at heaven 7 virgins. Now, are these women really in the right place? If that is their heaven I'd hate to see their hell! I suppose for Muslim women you're damed if you do and your damed if you don't.

perhaps I've missed it the many times I've read Qur'an, what sura indicates men will obtain the joy of many virgin women in heaven.

The flaw in this question is that it moves towards an argument of "why don't men and women get the same thing", and that comes from the mistaken assumption that justice comes from giving out the same gifts. If that were justice, then Allah (SWT) would not have given men and women different rights and responsibilities with respect to one another and the society in which they interact.
Men will receive insha'Allah what is according to the nature in which they are created, and likewise for women getting what they would want and what is best suited for their nature. The Creator knows best what is best for His creation.
As for the wife, scholars say she will be more beautiful than the Hoor al Ayn .
Allah says in the Quran "And you will receive in Jannah whatever you desire." (QURAN41:31) The fact that husbands and wives in this world are united in the hereafter has no contradiction to also having virgin servants. I don't think this matter is anything to worry about. Allah is the Most Just, ane will not be unjust and give one gender more than the other. People will be very happy in jannah whether they be male or female. The real thing to be concerned about is actually getting to heaven in the first place!!
EDIT- tarzan - do u hve a prob in readin??? ok lemme help u

The word which people translate as virgins is hoor.
Hoor mentioned in the Qur’an
The word hoor occurs in the Qur’an in no less than four different places:
(1) In Surah Dukhan chapter 44, verse 54
"Moreover, We shall join them to companions
With beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."
[Al-Qur’an 44:54]
(2) In Surah Al-Tur chapter 52 verse 20
"...And We shall join them to companions, with beautiful,
big and lustrous eyes."
[Al-Qur’an 52:20]
(3) In Surah Rahman chapter 55 verse 72
"Companions restrained (as to their glances), in goodly pavilions."
[Al-Qur’an 55:72]
(4) In Surah Al-Waqiah chapter 56 verse 22
"And (there will be) companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."
[Al-Qur’an 56:22]
2. Hoor Translated as Beautiful Maidens
Many translators of the Qur’an have translated the word hoor as ‘beautiful maidens’ especially in the Urdu translations. If hoor means ‘beautiful maidens’ or girls, then they are meant only for the men. Hence, what will the women get if they enter Paradise?
3. Meaning of Hoor
The word hoor is actually the plural of ahwar (applicable to man) and of haura (applicable to woman) and signifies a person having eyes characterized by hauar a special quality bestowed upon a good soul, male or female in paradise and it denotes the intense whiteness of the white part of the spiritual eye.
The Qur’an describes in several other verses that in paradise you will have azwaj which mean a pair or spouse or companion which means you will have spouses or companions pure and holy (mutaharratun means pure, holy).
"But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before", for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (forever)".
[Al-Qur’an 2:25]
"But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath – their eternal home; therein shall they have companions pure and holy: we shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening". [Al-Qur’an 4:57]
Therefore the word hoor has no specific gender. Mohammad Asad has translated the word hoor as spouse and Abdullah Yusuf Ali as companion. Therefore according to some scholars a man in paradise will have a hoor that is a beautiful maiden with beautiful big and lustrous eyes and a woman in paradise will get a man with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
4. Women will get something exceptional in Paradise
Many scholars say that in context, the word hoor used in the Qur’an refers only to ladies since gents are addressed. A reply that would be accepted by all types of people would rather be the answer given in the Hadith when a similar question was posed that if a man gets a hoor, a beautiful Maiden in Paradise, then what will the women get? The reply was that the women will get that which the heart has not desired for, the ear hasn’t heard off and the eye hasn’t seen, indicating that even the women will get something exceptional in Paradise.

If the suicide bombers kill thinking they are going to receive virgins as a reward they are being fooled, eternally so.

You can bet their not going to get 72 virgin men.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
If muslims are not going to accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior, then Douga is right!
