We will live in canada. If he or any man every laid a hand on me he would spend years in jail. and he knows the rules of this country. He is a very passive and gentle man, and that's why I love him. We are both teachers and have a great respect for each other. We are both divorced without any children. and are the same age.

I truly believe we have a good chance of a happy life together. I have read a lot of yours and others comments. Not all people are the same. I am sure you had a bad experience. Would you feel different if you had been married to someone other than a muslim. Any man who beats his wife is an animal. And it is forbidden in islam. I believe it says a slap on the hand or foot that doesn't leave a mark.

I am not saying i am okay with that passage, but it is way different than the term beating so often used. Some men beat their wives, in all religions of the world, not just muslims. You can not say all men are the same. Some white men abuse children, so do all white men do this? NO!. I have done volunteer work at a women's shelter and the majority of the women there are not muslim they are christian.
