Muslim women are expected to be subservient to their husbands, but also are granted special
status and privilege within marriage? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Various conclusions will be drawn about unequal gender roles and the obligations of each
family member. Muslim women often support this inequality even in the face of their own
hardship, because it also grants them privileges based within the doctrine of Islam. They are
assured of marriage (either choice or arranged), the husband is obligated to be faithful, provide
for their material needs in life, to have a strong family unit, etc.
