from your letter, yes stephanie should get out of her marriage and run far with her daughter away from her abusive husband. but marriages are sacred. everyone should try to work on there marriage and save it if it is fixable.

in islam. the wife's duties are inside the home. the man has much more responsibilities as providing maintenance to his wife and family, teach his wife to become and remain as a good muslim which then is her reponsibilty to raise and teach their children. all families remain very close unlike the west. and of course there must be much harmony and happiness inside the home to be granted as this. which means the man is the man and the woman is the woman. the woman is to listen to the man.

arab men or muslim men living in the west will never neglect there culture or belief. so don't expect them to change. i love my tunisian husband!
