Nu forstår jeg bedre…

…hvorfor kvindebevægelserne, De Radigale, venstrefløjs-hattedamerne og visse feministre elsker islam.

Så har de alligevel en chance for at blive gift - og leve i et stabilt ægteskab til de dør af alderdom. Så pyt med et par medkoner fra eller til, dem behøver man(d) jo heller ikke beskue.  Tilbage står blot et enkelt spørgsmål, som jeg håber vore muslimske læsere - som jo her på bloggen ofte demonstrerer deres omfattende viden om kopulatoriske detailler -  kan opklare for mig, der ikkun er en stakkels, vantro grissebasse-mand, der - indrømmet - behøver visse, visuelle indtryk for at kunne komme i stemning til at udføre mine ægteskabelige forpligtelser.

Mit spørgsmål lyder: “Hvordan bærer muslimerne sig ad med at få alle de børn?“.

Spørgsmålet er affødt af følgende artikel i det højt estimerede, mulsimske organ: Al Arabiya:

A 50-year-old Saudi woman asked for divorce after her husband lifted her face veil while she was sleeping, local press reported.

For 30 years, the wife said she never showed her face to her husband in conformity with the tradition of her native village near the south western Saudi city of Khamis Mushayt. “After all these years, he tries to commit such a big mistake,” the wife told Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh, after she left the house in total disbelief. She said the husband apologized and promised never to do it again.  This is not the first case of husbands who have not seen their wives’ faces in decades. In the past Al Arabiya has reported the case of Ali al-Qahtani, whose wife had been wearing the face veil for the entire ten years of their marrage. When he tried to take it off, she threatened to leave and only decided to stay after he swore never to try again. Hassan Al-Atibi threatened to marry another woman if his wife didn’t show him her face. The woman nominated one of her friends who doesn’t observe this tradition as a possible new wife for him, saying this would be better than her showing her face. And neither the husband or children of Om Rabea al-Gahdaray, 70, have ever seen her face. Al-Gahdaray says it is a family tradition, also followed by mother and sisters, which her husband accepted and never tried to change. When asked how she could have kids without her husband ever seeing her face, she replied:

“Marriage is about love, not faces.”
