Woman Between Islam and Western Society
8. Concerning Divorce
~ 427 ~
A new dimension has been added to the issue since
the women of this day and age can leave their
homes to work, and are therefore not as entirely
dependent on men as they used to be in the past:
there is no need then to make laws which provide
for them at the expense of their men folk. When
they are earning like men, what is the point in
making such a law? Only in exceptional cases,
surely, do they need to be looked after, and ways
and means of doing so can generally be worked out
quite satisfactorily on a personal level.
