Salam sister May Ayob,

I'll tell you a funny statistic I read some time ago, the number one reason for divorce in Egypt is "husband beating".
Maybe brother Mad scientist get lucky with that type of wife backed by a half a dozen angry live in brothers to boot.
The reality is that very few Arab women get pushed around and lets never forget mother dearest, the rest is talk and hot air.

Masalam

Waalaikum Asalaam

Really?? wow i didnt know i guess then he might be suffering from these types of issue- i hope not though. I think Husband beating is getting more popular in these areas women in there want revenge for a the years of pain and suffer - just kidding.
I can now say i understand Mad_scientists aggressive responses more, but what doesnt make sense to me is that i thought i read in another thread- Female Foeticide- to be specific that He- i mean Mad_scientist - is an arab feminist sound kind of ironic to me.

I hope he doesnt count this as backbitting or gossiping astaghfiru Allah

Salaam
 
i actually think people in the east just...ignore it...or refuse to admit there's a problem... whereas in the west...people are becoming very intolerable..easily fed-up and unwilling to work for it...
 
In most western countries, the Individual is the unit of society. People think on their own terms as individuals. In most eastern countries, family is the unit of the society. People grow up in joint families and live together in different roles. Family keeps people together. In west, individuals value their personal freedom of choice over anyone's interference. Modesty is not something ingrained in east, neither are westerners by definition immodest. People in the east are as materialistic as their western counterparts, and men are just men, in east or west.

It is not Islamic knowledge or faith in islam which keeps families together in the east. Most often it is the culture which has grown over the centuries around Islam. So yes, Islam is most definitely a contributing factor towards family stability as it gives immense importance to a healthy family as the cornerstone of a successful society and nation.

This.

I was recently talking to a friend of mine that is really knowledgable about Japanese culture and over there, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. They place more emphasis on following rules and doing what is best for the community rather than do what is best for yourself like we do in individualistic Western society.

You are really talking non sense and without evidence.
You are speaking of "the rules and regulations of islam druing divorce", do you really have any idea how divorce process work in Islam?
I think you mixed up between Islam and Roman catholic.

In fact, divorce procedure in Islam is the easiest, while the divorce process in the western countries can go on for years because of court proceedings related to the wealth split up etc.

Whataver the explanation of the diffferences in divorce rates between western and muslim countries, it is definitely NOT because of "divorce rules and regulations in Islam".

I said I THINK, so I asked myself 'maybe' there were obligations, I wasn't sure. I'm not muslim, did you ever think of that possibiliy?
No need to be over-protective.
 
Salaam,

I feel that the reason for the high rates are because of dating and the man and women get bored of eachother fast so they don't get along as great anymore any decide to quit. Sometimes I feel some couples rush into marriage and fall. I know a lot of divorces are caused because of cheating.... so I guess it is because of clashing cultures.
