Ladies, please consider marriage, especially at your prime. This wave of extreme feminism isn’t serving the long-term interests of many women. Independence is good, but complete detachment from the natural order of care & companionship often proves difficult over time. God has ordained that a woman should be under the care & guidance of a man throughout her life, from father to husband, and even in some cases, to son or a close male relative. We see the wisdom behind this custodial structure in everyday life. That Ummi Nuhu interview was truly eye-opening. It shows how reality often catches many women off guard. Personally, this is one of the reasons I believe strongly in the traditional structure. Women are souls that need consistent love, care, correction, guidance & counselling. This is best nurtured within a committed framework like marriage. When it comes to marriage & family values, I choose to stand by my conservative beliefs.
