Women can't refuse
AN Islamic group praised by the Howard Government as preaching moderation has advised its followers that a woman cannot refuse to have sex with her husband.
The advice was posted on the website of the Darulfatwa organisation, in response to questions posed by readers.
One asked: "Is it haram [forbidden] for a lady to say no if her male partner wants to make love with her?"
The Islamic scholars replied: "In this case she should not refrain from such a legitimate right of marriage, but she could Islamically request for a place of living from her husband."
Darulfatwa spokesman Mohammad Mehio said Islamic teaching was that a wife could not refuse sex unless she had a good excuse such as being ill, tired or depressed.
After The Sun-Herald questioned Mr Mehio about the answers on the website, he said they posted a "clarification".
The answer to the sex-in-marriage question was changed to: "In this case she has the right to refuse."
A little taqiyya on Mr. Mehio's part seems to have taken care of the problem for the Sun-Herald...It is too bad that the reporters didn't conduct further research and actually read islamic texts to find out what has been said...They are often very revealing...
I shall insert some phrases from islami texts here to illuminate the subject at a future date (especially if I don't forget)...
