The satisfaction of the husband for going out of the house /2

In the previous post we talked in detail about the difference between legality and morality. We started to talk about the philosophy of the rule which states a wife is not allowed to go out of the house without the satisfaction of her husband. So let’s continue that.

It is so clear that every system needs a manager, the one to be in charge of different affairs of that system. When we talk about the management here, as an important point we must mention that by “manger” we do not mean to be someone that is arrogant, but rather we mean the one that wisely controls different matters of that system, and tries to manage that system in a way that the best results will be obtained. The family is a system and we are not wrong if we say that the most important system is family because other systems like the different offices or factories etc. are so much effected by the way that the individuals have grown in their families.

The importance of the manager and management is so much to the extent that the scholars say that even in the situations that two persons are with each other on a trip, it is so appropriate for them to assign one of themselves as a manager, the one that decides as the last person. The religion of Islam has appointed man as the manager of the house and has appointed some responsibilities for him like raising the children, supplying the economic needs of his wife and children etc. The reason of this appointment is clear.

The physical abilities of the man and the power for earning money, protecting the family members against the dangers etc. are some of its reasons. And if we frankly and fairly and without any presupposition think about that, we see that this appointment is not because of the imaginary thoughts that men are higher than women and are better than them. Even if we refer to the women, they themselves want to have a husband on whom they can rely. On the other hand the man has the nature of protecting his family members to the last breath. And as we just mentioned, this does not mean that a man must be arrogant and opinionated. So this is something which is in the innate nature of man and woman.

One of the aspects of a manager of a system is to be attentive about the behaviors of the members of that system. Imagine a manager of an office who is indifferent about his members, so what a disturbed system it would be. So if a system wants to be successful in his way, taking care of the members of that system must be important to the manager. Let’s bring a clearer example. Imagine that a father of a house does not take care of his children, or the friends of them, or about the gatherings in which his children participate, so in your idea, can we call this family as a successful and sample family?

To be continued.
