Hi all
just peeking in here to make some little points. SM is using Islam to justify marital rape and once again this shows the ignorance of people about Islam.
Islam prohibits physical intimacy unless until a couple is married. Since the physical urges can’t be met any other way- not even masturbation- it is obligatory for both spouses to meet the physical needs of the other. Wife is hence obliged to allow physical intimacy of man is in need and the man must also ensure wife’s needs are met whenever required.
Hence this is often used by toxic men and women to justify why a wife can’t say no to her husband ever in Islam. And then to say marital rape is allowed in Islam.
THIS IS WRONG!! And shows limited knowledge of Islam
Hadith further states if a woman says no - and her husband goes to bed angry- she has failed in her duty- now see here- he goes to bed angry because he can’t force his wife.
The most he can do is take her to a judge for redress. Islamic marriages are contract based marriages and physical intimacy is a term implied. So he can ask judge to give a ruling or allow him to divorce his wife as his physical needs are not being made.
He is NOT allowed to rape.
In fact rape is harm and Islam specifically prohibits any act harming the spouse and is considered haram. It is absolutely haram (unlawful) for a man to harm his wife. The Prophet (pbuh) not only prohibited harming others in general, but also those who were like one's 'garment' (implying spouse) and those who lived under one's ri'aaya (governance), care or shepherdship (as mentioned in prophetic traditions), and commanded men to deal with their wives in an honorable way. Rape, abuse, ill-treatment and the infliction of harm, be it physical, verbal or psychological, is, therefore, completely unacceptable in such a relationship. There have been many precedents from the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) regarding 'forced sexual intercourse with wife' and such incidences had been dealt with right away by punishing the wrongdoer.
In fact Islam also frowns about men who have the consent of their wives but are too hasty in taking her - and thereby harming her physically or causing her pain- it says that a man has a duty to adequately prepare a woman before sex. Which implies foreplay is recommended.
Now coming to all those trash people who are using Islam to justify marital rape- they are WRONG. Please read up on it and I will also request anyone coming across such tweets to correct them.
I just needed to come in here and clarify this. Thank you
