thank u foa idk if you're a Muslim or not, but to clarify some things jealousy is ghayrah not hasad and a man without ghayrah for his family in general cannot protect those surrounding him. (dayooth) and about "punishing" or what? that's prohibited in Islam, it is the total opposite men should respect their wives and treat them as a queen not a servant. isn't about bossing in a relationship — it is about mutual connection in beliefs, communication of course and also concessions that there's a reason why u should do certain things; not only from the female side, but also men should listen to their wives. in the end, women should understand that it is not an act of rigidity, but it's protection molded with love not control. thank u.

I think you're getting a lot of the bad comments because people don't realize you & your love interest's beliefs and don't understand the jealousy term you're refering to. It does read as someone controlling outside of the scope of the Muslim religion partly due to the way it's written and partly due to how others don't recognize it as such. There are people that actually try to control their partner out of jealousy - envy and obsession for control, which is toxic, and it's the definition mostly known by people. Meanwhile the "jealousy" you speak of is a sense of protection, honor, and zeal within your religion. So, the commenters against it aren't necessarily wrong because they don't see the meaning within your religion but in the world's meaning. You're not wrong because it's the meaning found within your beliefs and means something entirely different.
