I read a blog that was posted that men can hit their wives, but wives cannot hit their husbands. Why is that?
Also why do women have to have a male chaperone wherever they go publically?
Can Saudi men have multiple wives?
Answer
when some one (instructor) or some software tells you to "hit the space bar" do you actually hit it as in beat it up or do you just touch it ? same word connotations exist in Arabic too.
The Saudi chaperon thing is more of a social custom , not an actual law , for the women's own protection (but there are religious people who enforce the thing at random) . Not everyone adheres to it , and in some cases it is the women that are actually chaperoning the immature young men.
All this, along with not driving, has nothing to do with Islam , it is something that Saudis have to work out amongst themselves as no other country has these rules. It started by some religious opinion by some scholars who thought it was the solution , at a time before the Saudi state matured, around 2 centuries before, the central area of Saudi desert was unsafe for travelers (like you would see in westerns) , there were thieves and kidnappers who would attack even pilgrims , that is very different than today. One can argue that condition no longer exists but you have to convince the religious scholars to change that.
Islam allows multiple wives as an exception not the rule, in the sense it is not forbidden but not encouraged either, and it requires meeting certain criteria such as financial & physical ability to justly sustain both wives and not make any a favorite over the others. For example if the husband buys a gift for one, then he is obliged to give them all the same or equal. Also the time he spends with each must be divided fairly between them.. On the other hand, Islam gives the wife the right to get a divorce if she felt that arrangement was uncomfortable or unjust. If the condition is placed in the marriage contract the wife can complete the divorce without the husband's agreement (thru court) . Another reason for additional wives is to have children , for example if the first one has some medical condition preventing that. In some cases it is the 1st wife that suggest this. In social terms it also solves the husband shortage problem in some countries where a war (many men killed) or male/female ratio imbalance has taken place. Or for welfare reasons (I think most low-income women would rather depend on a well to do / rich husband rather than live of social security or handouts from strangers).
also multiple wives is not a new thing , it was practiced by Jews/Christians before Islam. See this

you may also have read about the Chinese they had the same thing .Mormons still have that by the way.

im 17 and want to start a small side business, any ideas?
Cody Sturm
I am trying to get a small business goin but cant think of anything, it doesnt need to really bring in loads of money, just enough to pay my needs, but will certainly take loads if came to me!
Answer
-Antique refurbishment This is a perfect side business for people who love antiquing. Take worn-out antiques home with you, invest the time and care needed to transform those old items into something amazing, then resell them at a profit.
-Auto detailing Have a meticulous eye for detail and love to get things gleaming clean? Auto detailing is probably a perfect side business for you. In essence, your job is to make cars sparkle inside and out â and many people are quite happy to pay well for this service.
-Babysitting Got lots of evenings free? Like kids? Babysitting may be a great side business for you. Keep an eye on multiple children on Friday and Saturday nights and you can earn some solid income.
-Bed and breakfast Have some extra space in your home? Turn that extra bedroom into a âbed and breakfastâ room. This works particularly well if you have a somewhat older home or live near an area that attracts regular travelers and tourists.
Blogging If you enjoy writing, find a topic youâre passionate about and start a blog on the topic. All you need is a computer, some time, and some energy to consistently write.
Cake decorating Enjoy baking and have a bit of an artistic touch? Learn how to decorate cakes and make them for special events. One of my motherâs old friends does this and makes quite a bit of money on the side.
-Candle making Candle making is a great little craft to learn. You can often easily sell the candles at local shops and also through websites like Etsy.com.
Candy making Homemade candies are easier to make than you think and quite popular. Package them in nice little boxes and sell them through a local gift shop.
-Card making This is another artistic âcraftyâ angle you can follow. Make greeting/birthday cards from scratch using your own photographs, some blank cards, and a healthy dose of artistic flair. Again, you san sell items like these through a local gift shop or at sites like etsy.com.
-Catering If you love to cook, take the âBlondieâ route and start a home catering business. Catering is a business thatâs perfectly designed to reward those who plan well and can often fit perfectly into weekends, lining up wonderfully opposite a normal workweek.
-Childcare service Many states allow people to start up in-home daycares with minimal licensing and paperwork. If you love children and have plenty of time and space at home, this is a perfect business to get into.
-Cleaning services for businesses Many businesses and civic institutions have a need for individuals who will provide cleaning services at a low cost outside of business hours. This is a great side business for those who can put in a few hours late at night or on weekends.
Collectible trading If thereâs a particular type of collectible that you know a great deal about, you can often make good money as a collectible trader, utilizing tools like eBay and opportunities to find those collectibles in the community. I had some success with this myself with both trading cards and video games in the past.
-Computer troubleshooting I had some success with this in the past, though Iâve largely moved away from it now. If you have a knack for fixing computers, this is a good place to start.
Consignment buyer Consignment shops and consignment auctions are often loaded with good deals if you know how to identify them â quite often, you can turn these good deals around and make a nice profit elsewhere. Get started by visiting some consignment shops and critically evaluating the prices on the items there.
-Cookie making Much like candy making, homemade cookies can be a great seller. Bake the cookies, package them well, and resell them through a local gift shop. Often, you can find people in your social network who will buy batches from you for special occasions.
-Dinner preparer I recently met a woman who earned quite a bit of money as a very part-time chef. Once a week, she would go to someoneâs house and prepare a homemade meal for their family, then do all the dishes and cleanup work. This gives the family plenty of together time, while earning the lady some cash in the pocket. If you love to cook, this can be a great opportunity, but you may have to put a lot of work into searching for clients.
