Saudi Women Tiring of Polygamy, Misogyny & Immaturity, Clinging to Shelf.

'Narrated Ikrima: Rifa'a divorced his wife whereupon Abdur Rahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (& complained to her (Aisha) of her husband & showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah's Apostle came, Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When Abdur Rahman heard that his wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife.

'She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him but he is impotent & is as useless to me as this," holding & showing the fringe of her garment, Abdur Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Apostle! She has told a lie! I am very strong & can satisfy her but she is disobedient & wants to go back to Rifa'a." Allah's Apostle said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa'a unless Abdur Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet saw two boys with Abdur Rahman & asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that Abdur Rahman said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "You claim what you claim (ie. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow,"' So it says in Islamic scripture's most authoritative & respected compilation of ahadith, Sahih Bukhari, in volume seven, book 72, number 715.

Even Mohammed's own favourite (& vastly, disgustingly under-aged) wife knew that Islam was trouble for women. Islam is not a progressive doctrine advocating equality, compassion & reason, only someone who has never read a newspaper, watched or listened to the news or had a conversation with anyone who has could possibly think it is. Saudi women have seen enough of Western civilisation to know that the life of domestic violence, rivalry with other wives & having to pander to the whims of a spoiled man-boy that is all that Islam has to offer is really not much to shout about & are remaining unwed. Just look at the arithmetic, in a land where a man can marry up to four women, a third of 30-something women are living with their parents, as reported by Arab News today:

Alarm over rising rate of Saudi spinsterhood The number of unmarried Saudi women over 30 reached 33.45 percent in the last 10 years, or 1.52 million of the total population of 4.57 million women, local media reported on Sunday. Reports quoted Mohammed Al-Abdul Qadir, head of the Wiam Family Care Society, who stressed the need for a "community engineering," based on field studies, to be carried out by experts in different areas. For more than two decades, Saudi society has encouraged the concept of mass marriages in a bid to fight the growing rate of spinsterhood, the expert said. According to Abdul Qadir, although these initiatives are individually or voluntary-oriented, the time has come to streamline the ideas through an overall social reform, taking into consideration development plans in different parts of the Kingdom. The family expert said marriage organizers still focus on the regulatory side of the issue. He called on the experts to look for community-based solutions to ensure the stability of marriages by providing job opportunities and creation of joint ventures for the couples through initiatives undertaken by both private and public sector companies. The 7th forum of Saudi Family Care Societies, scheduled for next month in Dammam, will explore some 30 new researches and initiatives in this regard, he pointed out.
