Yes.


Do you think that it makes any sense?

It's nothing about fear. Relationships are built on trust, if your husband trusts you, he will let you leave the house. I'd much prefer to let him know, in my eyes I see it as something good.

It makes sense; I'm pretty sure we let our parents know where we are going and what we are up to, I'd have to get permission. In this case it's my husband and I will tell him too.

So, will your husband also have to ask permission to you for leaving the house?

There is a difference between informing a relative, and asking permission for leaving the house...

LOL. Too busy being awesome.

He wouldn't need to. His job is to provide for me so I don't expect him to do that. He has to leave the house whereas it isn't really necessary for me to.

I think you can't read or fail to understand my point.

Wow. I can't argue with such strong logic.

Normally, when people trust each other, they don't have to request permission for "leaving the house". From what you said, it seems that you would trust your husband, but that he will not trust you.

Hi, sorry for the long back story.

I come from a household of an extremely abusive mother and a father who never did anything to stop it.

A couple years ago, I managed to transfer university and move out, but my family would force me to regularly visit. Just before this, I met my non-Muslim boyfriend on a dating site, who lives in London. I am not from London nor do I go to university there. At this time I was (of course) in a bad place and, although I believed in Allah, I did not really care for religion.

Since being away from the abuse I've found more of a place for Allah in my heart. My boyfriend is almost the perfect man - except for the fact that he is not Muslim. He has good principles and doesn't drink or anything. Since becoming more religious, I've asked him about converting, and he will not consider it. I know I have no future with him.

Recently, I have cut contact with my mother and have stopped visiting my parents.

I am in my final year of university and am planning on moving to London after I have finished precisely because of my entire situation. London is so big and I feel like it will give me a greater chance of meeting friends, a life partner, and starting a new life where I can finally be happy.

I am having breakdowns at this moment because I feel like I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life. I find it hard to connect with people. I have only two friends I feel like I really connect with, and then there's my boyfriend. At the age of twenty I've only ever connected with three people. The fact that I now have to only consider Muslim guys for partners has narrowed down my chances of finding another connection by so much. On top of that, I would have to find a Muslim guy who is willing to date, as I would want to be in a relationship with someone before marriage.

I also don't feel like I'm the kind of girl a Muslim guy will want to settle down with. I don't wear hijab and I feel like lot of people will automatically assume I'm not marriage material because of that. Also, I feel like many Muslim guys would want the approval of their parents before marrying someone. What Muslim parents would approve of a girl who has pretty much no ties with her family? I don't want to be used by a guy for fun and then get dumped for someone his parents chose.

I feel like I'm never going to have a connection with a Muslim guy, and my religion does not allow me to be with a non-Muslim, and therefore I see my future being filled with unhappiness and loneliness.

Advice or perspective would be appreciated.


Read the quran. You will never be a muslim after reading and understanding the Qur'an. If you still are, then that's deplorable. Me and my girlfriend were muslims until last year, when we finished reading the qur'an. Now we've left Egypt and we can finally get married without fear of being stoned death. You know Islam is even sexist for punishment; If me and my girlfriend were two males, we would've have be executed, but because we are two women we are to be stoned to death.
Please for your own happiness, leave Islam and the best way to do that is to read the Qur'an.

Dw I know how to make my husband happy. Good luck with your future.

But I thought that marriage created a very strong bond between spouses? Normally men shouldn't fear that...


It does but it depends on who one gets married to aswell. If they get married to their cousins for instance then they wont really suggest much as they probally have grown up with them during childhood. However marrying an outsider is a completely different story as they dont know you and it does take time for one to get to know each other in such a relationship.

Yeah but that's because they are your parents and naturally they are protective of you, when you're married, you should have such freedom not to require and seek permission to leave the house, there is a difference.

I made a typo.

"I don't think you can mark it on a scale. I want him to be fully practicing and be pious but I won't tolerate him telling me to never leave the house and I can only leave the house with his permission etc."

Is that clearer?
well, be sure to put those clauses in the marriage contract, or you will have a tough time in obtaining a khulah (divorce declared by an imam on the wife's request, if husband does not agree to it)

not even really sure if those clauses will be considered as valid

I don't expect you to know this as you have lost faith anyway but a wife should give her husband more precedence over her parents. I don't really see the difference. I stick to Allah's commands.

I really don't understand why me losing my faith makes a difference to the validity of my comment, all I said was, as a wife, she shouldn't need to seek the permission from her husband to go outside and do simple tasks outdoors.

You were made to leave islam within itself as Islam does not tolerate lesbian or gay marriages. This is also one of the major signs of the day of judgement.

And what if something happens to her on the way and she hadn't informed her husband? then what? Even simple tasks could potentially lead to danger thats why it is best if you at least inform your husband of each others whereabouts so they wouldn't worry.

Wait, so what about those single or unwed? What if something happens to them but nobody is around them? Are you trying to say that everyone has to tell someone where they are going in case we all get murdered one day? People go out on their own all the time, it doesn't make a difference because she's a Muslim.

Better still, get a chip installed under your skin so your husband can track you! Then when the poor stupid woman inevitably gets lost or endangered (WOMEN ARE A LIABILITY!!) her husband can help her - as is his duty. :smile:
