What are you talking about? The minimum age for marriage in Qatar is 16. In the United Arab Emirates it is 18. And 70% of parents in these countries prefer their daughters wait until after they turn 21 and finish their college education first.
You realize that raping your wife was legal in most states of the US prior to 1970? As for polygamy, yes a man may have more than one wife, but in Qatar that is legal grounds for divorce if the first wife doesn't approve. Polygamy is rare in Qatar but not infrequent in the United Arab Emirates. However, even the UAE requires the permission of all existing wives before a man can take an additional wife.

Domestic violence is a crime in Qatar and concerted efforts are made to persuade victims to report it. The Family Code of 2006 states explicitly that a woman has the right to be free from physical and mental harm at the hands of her husband. The government maintains an all-female police unit to deal with issues related to domestic violence, and it increased the hiring of female police officers in 2012. The Supreme Council for Family Affairs (SCFA) operates a shelter under the supervision of the Qatar Foundation to accommodate abused women and children, which provides a variety of services. The Qatar Foundation also opened an office in the attorney general’s office to improve case coordination on domestic violence with the public prosecutor.
The United Arab Emirates have not pursued this issue as vigorously, however.
But as far as education goes, far from being deprived, twice as many women receive a higher education in both Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as men.
That is the one phrase I never allow my students to use when discussing gender issues. Its nothing more than a stereotypical slur.
No, you are not. Nowhere does the shariah allow people to kill their family members. However, there is a "glitch" in the shariah that may prevent them from being adequately punished. All murders under Islamic law are qissas crimes, meaning the family of the victim may have the punishment of the perpetrator mitigated if they forgive him. Well, if the family is the perpetrator, what happens then?
What??? Are you confusing Qatar and the UAE with Afghanistan when it is was ruled by the Taliban? Met one Afghan and you know all Arabs, I guess.
Yes, women may be discouraged (though not by law) from seeing a male doctor, but for that very reason the proportion of female doctors in the Islamic world is much higher than the West.
"Ignorant little sex toys" with a literacy rate of 95% and more higher education then the men. '
Any other prejudices you'd like to share with us?
OH--please--I've no less than 3 friends, ex-Muslim they've been here 5 years---all the above they said is all to true though it is officially denied, by men. All 3 would rather die than go back. I'll take their word for it over yours any day. And that is about all I have to say anymore. Have a good day.
