insanaah- thank you so much for taking the time and patience for your thoughtful reply. i guess i was sick of hearing about sabr all the time, & then to hav babies pushed in2 my face 24/7, ive been patient for so many years, & i got fed up, well its 2 much to take...& sometimes wen your sat in despair its hard to switch off emotions esp ones like these. It was a last resort thing b4 my time is up, i think any childless woman would understand that. Unfortuantely i come from a background where an umarried woman mite as well be dead.
Im not bothered about the husband, and Im not doing this to be looked after, or for sex.
I dont understand why this is so hard to get ? but my desire is for a child. thats IT. Ive done everything i can with my life, i just wanted something of my own, to care and look after. I get the adoption thing but its not the same. do any of you that have inputted in this thread actually have children ?? to the men, would you really adopt a child, and be able to love them as your own ? It wud feel different, and i dont wana do injustice to someone else's child., & hav lack of love for that person, wen its not even their fault. @ naidamar, re:adoption i looked into this years ago, and the amount of paperwork/constant check ups that i wud hav to go thru is ridiculous, your right the world is crying out for adoptive parents, but i would literally have to wait years + i did also think of the option of going overseas. Some places put prices on children, i know someone that bought one for 10, 000 pounds, it just feels wrong. a child is sacred, not an item, you can just pick off the shelf. an adoptive child would never ever be mine, its not the same.
I knew what the answer would be when i posted this, but i guess i just wanted to hear what other women do in my situation, to stop feeling resentful of a religion, cos thats what its getting like.
to m.scientist. in future i suggest you refrain from makin those kinds of comments, (you dont know me, would you really speak to your blood sister like that ?) esp when dealing with a sensitive issue that men will never ever get. you just wont understand. all women hav biological clocks, and its not possible to just get ova certain things. i came with a genuine concern, not to get ridiculed, i really hope your wife/sister or any other female in your family never ever has to feel like this or encouter any probs with bearing children. us women are sensitive things, you know the way allah made us, just plz bear that in mind, next time you ridicule someone. you can kill a persons's iman with certain words, an iman that is prob more or less dead anyway.
@ hamza jazakhallah with respect polygamy is not something easy for a woman to go through. I have no issues with people that practice it, each to their own, but when you suggest that to someone you dont know, you should also ask youself would you like it for your real sister ?? if the tables were turned would you be able to share you partner ? Im sorry im not saying this to be rude, just to make you realise that this sort of stuff is a big deal to us women. Allah made it lawful but its also a choice for us women, whether we chose to go down the root. It takes a strong woman to be in a polygamous marriage, and theres not many of them women about.
oh and sorry for saying the P word before
