S African muslim woman

I don't know if the bad guys are muslim or arab. The berbers in Morocco are just as bad, in my experience. They, themselves are muslims who are anti-arab but can't even admit that they owe their religion to the arabs because they love islam but hate arabs. Let's just make up history as we go along!? How did Islam arrive in North Africa?

It seems like your brothers respect their wives - thank God (anybody's God) but in the Koran, a man has the right to hit his wife, albeit gently - this is islam!? Most arabs are muslim but they are only interpreting the Koran so who can blame them for being badly behaved when their book is telling them that it is ok to hit and disrespect a woman?

I don't suppose that you will do anything to change your situation, we women put up with SO much. However, please remember that nothing in this world will change the fact that you only have one life, it is YOURS and I'm sure you would like to share it with your beautiful daughter and not with someone who doesn't deserve it. Talk to your brothers and sisters-in-law, sound them out. You are obviously upset or you wouldn't have posted. Don't suffer in silence, talk to the people who know you. Think of your happiness so that you can make your daughter happy

I hope you find the right solution for all, life is not always nice but problems should be coming from the outside world not from your spouse, he should be making the bad things easier to handle.
