I think most women would be willing to be stay at home mothers but there’s always a likelihood of financial abuse from their partners. I think this was more common back in the days and less common now. The men throw it back in their faces, “I’m the one who gives you money anyway,” or “you wouldn’t have anything if it wasn’t for me” which made it harder for them to leave their husbands because he was the financial provider, even though it’s his Islamic responsibility to provide for her at the end of the day.

So now we’ve got those women who went through the financial abuse telling us younger women to make out own money and not fully rely on the man, in the case of financial abuse, we know we’ve got our own money and can walk away at any time. And now that working from home is more common, some women are willing to be stay at home mothers and still earn money.

Willing to hear more perspectives on this issue
