"And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may live in tranquility with them; and He has brought between you love and mercy. Truly, in this are signs for those who reflect." (Qur'an 30:21)
Marriage is based on mutual love and respect. The Islamic marriage is a sacred contract between a willing woman and willing man. There can be no coercion, and each party is free to include its own terms. The bride keeps her family name and her marriage gift from the groom. A Muslim marriage is completed with public festivities reflecting culture and customs.
Husbands and wives are protectors of each other. They are equal partners and best friends, remaining faithful to one another.
The husband provides, maintains, protects and is responsible for the family. He fulfills his duties with consultation and kindness. While the wife is not required to share her wealth and earnings, she may help her husband. Both spouses work together in the home - cooking and cleaning - and in raising good children.
If couples are unable to live with one another peacefully, amicable divorce is permitted as a last resort. Mothers are given priority in the custody of children.
Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: "Treat women well and be kind to them; they are your partners and committed helpers."
=================================================
Hello to you in a group (women in Islam)
Islam means "Peace" - achieved when a person focuses on God, giving her entire mind, heart and soul to none other than the Creator. This liberates her from human subjection; replacing fear with self-respect; weakness with strength, and conflict with tranquility. God says in the Qur'an: "�do not fear human beings, but be in awe of Me." (Qur'an 5:44)
Islam strongly prohibits oppression or cruelty to any individual, group or living thing in the universe. God enjoins good conduct toward women from birth to death. Verbal, psychological, emotional, sexual, and physical violence are forbidden, as are false allegations against women's chastity and honor. Men are further reminded: "Do not annoy women as to make their lives miserable." (Qur'an 65:6).
Prophet Muhammad said: "Only an honorable man treat women with honor and integrity. And only a mean, deceitful and dishonest man humiliates and insults women." Referring to physical abuse, he added: "Never hit your wives, they are your partners and sincere helpers." He exemplified this by never, ever, hitting a women or child. The Prophet guaranteed protection of the life, honor, and property of women.
"And why should you not fight in the cause of God and on behalf of those, who being weak, are ill-treated and oppressed, men, women and children whose cry is, 'Our Lord! Rescue us from these oppressors, and raise for us, from You, one who will protect and help.'" (Qur'an 4:75)

Move over, Natalie Dylan. Another brunette has decided to auction off her virginity, this time Italian model and reality star Raffaella Fico, 20. The brown-eyed stunner says she will offer her virginity for 1 million euros (or U.S. $1.5 million).
Fico, who appeared in the Italian version of Big Brother earlier this year, says she would use the money to buy a house in Rome and pay for acting classes.
Raffaella told the Italian magazine Chi that looks are no object. "If I don't like him, I'll just have a glass of wine and forget about it," says the aspiring actress from Naples (hometown of legendary sex siren Sophia Loren). I can't wait to see who's going to pull out the money to have me."
Her family insists Fico is still a virgin, despite her sultry good looks. "She's never had a boyfriend," says Raffella's brother. "I swear on my mother's grave. She's a devout Catholic and prays every night."
n August, a recent college grad who calls herself "Natalie Dylan" (not her real name) made headlines when she announced she would sell her virginity to the highest bidder.
So far, Dylan, 22, has received a bid for $250,000, but she says she hopes to net up to $1 million from the auction, which is taking place in Nevada at the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch, a legalized brothel (eBay turned her down). The auction will be conducted online at bunnyranch.com, and the deal will be consummated at the Bunny Ranch, where Dylan’s sister already works.
Dylan, who graduated from Sacramento State College, plans to use the money to pursue a master's degree in Matrimony and Family Therapy. Natalie says she got the idea to sell her virginity from a Peruvian woman who in 2005 put her virginity up for sale to help pay her family's medical bills. The then-18-year-old woman ended up having second thoughts and eventually turned down a $1.5 million offer from a Canadian bidder.Move over, Natalie Dylan.

Lock up your daughters, sisters, mums and mates! Casual sex can finally be revealed in all it's destructive glory by (wait for it...) The Daily Mail. Women, be warned.
And now the Daily Mail has wheeled out some poor damaged girls to share their sob stories, and ram that moral lesson a little further down our throats. That's right people: the DM has Proved The Scientists Right.
One of the Mail's doe-eyed victims of the sexual revolution was apparently left feeling "worthless" and "emotionally destroyed" after a one-night stand, but it's ok, cos she understands now that men and women are *just different* and she's taken a vow of celibacy as a result.
And - how convenient! - the researcher cites basic, evolutionary biology as the reason that women just can't handle a one-nighter.
The DM can confirm that - lucky old things! - men are no more than their basic biological impulse to get down and dirty with anything that moves in order to spread their seed while women are better suited to... Well, staying at home, taking care of the kids, enjoying the odd monogamous shag when him indoors fancies meting it out, and seeming more attractive to said promiscuous male as a result.
Now, I *know* the Daily Mail's advice is in my best interests, but I just can't get my head around the idea (perhaps I need to think about it over the ironing) that because I'm a woman I'll naturally respond like the 'majority' of women to a one night stand (and 58% isn't much of a majority). Perhaps it's buried in my subconscious and I'm just too irrational to recognise it but, unless I'm confusing myself, I don't recall having responded to many experiences like *every other woman* in the world, just as I can't quite remember having responded to any given scenario like every other brunette, or every other bisexual woman, or every other deaf person.
The Mail's totally unbiased reporting tips the balance in this argument though - not only will putting it about with a number of 'Mr Wrongs' make you feel like crap, but it'll decrease your chances of ever meeting 'Mr Right' too! It's clearly not worth the risk. Thank you Daily Mail, for showing me the error of my ways.
Now where's that chastity belt... Oh yes. It's in the BIN. Along with any copies of the Daily Mail ever to have existed. Lock up your daughters, sisters, mums and mates! Casual sex can finally be revealed in... more

During the past several years the abstinence movement has become popular with young Americans. Among some teens and young adults , however, maintaining chastity has taken on a whole new meaning. Increasingly more young women are pledging their virginity to their fathers at wedding-like "purity" balls , where presents are exchanged and contracts are signed. This begs the question; when does a father's interest in his daughter's sex-life go from caring to creepy?During the past several years the abstinence movement has become popular with young... more
