Salaams,
Why are Muslim families so harsh against women? I find that there is a lack of love, support and understanding when it comes to daughters.
I work al day, then come home to cook and clean for my parents. And their response? That my food isn't good enough but they don't want to starve.
I don't get it. Where in Islam does it say that this is permissible? They would never in a million years say that to their sons, nor do they expect their sons and daughters in law to cook and clean for them. All they care about is that their sons are happily married in their homes.
Where do I turn for support and love? Obviously, the men have their wives and children, and my parents try to give them what help they can.
I know I'm not allowed to say anything to my parents but where does that leave me?
Am I allowed to go away somewhere, and leave my older brothers to take care of my parents? It is also causing a lot of stress in my work life so I'm not getting my work done....this will effect my livelihood and ability to support myself. I also buy food etc for my parents when they need it.
I need help as I'm on the verge of walking away.
