Q: Are women like slaves of their husband in Islam? I have come across some writings where some quotations were mentioned supporting this. One quotation was on Umar (radhiyallahu anhu). It was something that women are like slaves of their husbands. So be careful whom you are giving your daugter to as a slave. Is it true?
In many places I have read that the hoors are getting angry on a wife who is upsetting the husband or disobeying him and they curse the wife. Are these all true? Are all women born slaves of men?
A: It is not true. We have not come across this statement of Umar (radhiyallahu anhu).
We have not come across this. But disobeying the husband is a major wrong.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
