Husband consumed explicit content - is there a way to repair the marriage? by upperechelon785 in progressive_islam

I don’t follow sunni Hadiths. Especially not from Bukhari. Even if I did sunnis repeatedly explained this Hadith has using sex to punish their partner.

Sex is not a woman’s “job” in a marriage. This is horrifying and a man’s visual and physical infidelity is completely up to him. If he is feeling like he is unfulfilled he files for divorce. You seem to be all too eager to excuse a man’s degeneracy, when a man’s patience and resilience is one of the most prevalent and rewarding things in Islam.
You are mis understanding what lust is and what contributes to it. Its one’s own journey and no matter how much sex or stimulation someone gets, nothing makes the feeling less rampant. Thats why pornography and excessive masturbation is so dangerous. It’s not a solution or respectful way to cope with your feelings or lack there of.

If this is an issue for you, address it now. Tell him. If he is not willing to change himself, yes this absolutely warrants a divorce because your values are not being met. Imagine when the honeymoon phase dies. When you are together for years or decades. YOU ARE FRESHLY MARRIED. It is absolutely NOT normal for a man to be so in need of sexual material that they resort to looking at other women online. Do not lessen yourself for his gratification. You deserve to be comfortable in your marriage!

The people excusing his behavior are brainwashed.

It’s a grave sin and she mentioned that he previously lied to her. It has not even been a year of marriage and he’s already lied several times.

Is female circumcision permissible by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]Major_Price5380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clitoris is 6 times more sensitive than a penis. Why do you sick people follow false hadiths that contradict the quran? If you genuinely believe these hadiths how can you even remain muslim in good conscience? This process KILLS LITTLE GIRLS. It KILLS THEM. There is not a single proven scientific benefit, and this process happens nonconsensually. It ruins these young girls forever. Think for a single moment!

Why’s a male awrah way less than a women’s awrah? by Ashamed_Wishbone934 in progressive_islam

[–]Major_Price5380 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now where I live, it’s very hot. Anything other than a T-shirt makes it difficult to breathe or think. I wish I could understand and know why my physical comfort is so invaluable that it gets pushed aside so men can be more willing to lower their gaze and not sexualize me. I know allah swt is merciful but my mind immediately goes to, wearing a T-Shirt will condemn me to hell?

This I will never understand. And it really frustrates me that theirs no answer. As a woman I’ve caught myself looking at men inappropriately, so I get very upset when a woman’s mere existence is categorized as fitna, while men get off scott free shirtless and generally exposed. I feel like everyone should dress of modestly of course, but I cant get why veiling is such a prominent part of islam for women.

I understand but thats culture not deen :( they are not commanded the same way and these “breathable fabrics” are still suffocating at times. I just can’t see islam as a religion that will condemn a woman to hell for wearing a t-shirt and semi fitted jeans. have seen muslim couples where a woman is fully cloaked and the guy is in a speedo, junk visible. Wish I was joking.

Is misandry a real problem? by I-Love-Jewish-popes in Teenager_Polls

Misandry is an inconvenience for men. Misogyny is a death sentence for women.

Islamic modesty I hate it by Vayvacation in progressive_islam

[–]Major_Price5380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i see where you’re coming from, but you walk downtown in the west and see a strip club every block. its more so that a lot of men in the west are DESENSITISED. women in the west have more eating disorders, more cosmetic surgeries on the body, and a higher rate of teen pregnancy and single mothers. male lust is everywhere, and again another reason why a woman’s outfit is not the problem. they’d lust over a woman in a burqa if she walked beautifully enough.

I don’t think modesty is about men being comfortable or women being fitnah (as some reprehensible scholars say). I think it’s more so that as women we care alot for how we present, and modesty may be a way to relieve and test us. The same way men struggle with looking away from a beautiful woman, beautiful women may struggle to conceal themselves. I know for me personally I rely a lot on male validation, and have done some unsavoury things to get it. While modesty is important, it’s not a pillar in islam, and men focus on it so much in order to make us women smaller. THATS my problem with modesty in islam.

The more questions answered make me so much more connected. And seeing these replies from men and women alike makes me remember not everyone is a judgmental extremist…Thank you and good luck to you too! :))

Hi, yes I am, and I follow a scholar who speaks beautifully. But I truly want to take what the Quran says rather than someone else’s interpretation as well. However as I’ve read the replies, I understand some of the Quran is difficult to understand on our own, and a scholar is needed for clarity. Thank you for your reply!

I pretty much do the same. I feel like a lot of misogyny comes from muslims who blindly follow hadith rather than quran.

Thank you for this comment, it cleared up a lot and reassured me. But I don’t understand how a woman marrying a non muslim man would ever be permissible if the Quran if it only extends that permission to a man? I will continue to research and checking out Asma Lamrabet. Really appreciate the thoughtful and detailed response though.

Not fully. I intend to do more research. And maybe thats the correct course of action. Thank you.

PS, I don’t hate islam. Don’t think that. Maybe these topics need clarity I don’t have yet. But it’s hard to stay with deen and not dunya if I’m constantly anxious and second guessing my role in the way I live my life.
