Ah ...but isn't "good behaviour" and "bad behaviour" defined within
the paragigm of one's belief system ... and is thus relative and not a
constant? Who defines good behaviour and bad behaviour ... and is it
a constant or relative to circumstance?

:
: "Today's civilization encourages women to act against her nature,

"what, indeed is the nature of woman , and who defines it?"

her
: dignity and her self-respect, making her unable to perform her
duties
: to herself and her family."

And who defines those duties? Who has the RIGHT to define those
duties? To whom does a woman surrender her OWN right to define those
duties for herself?

Even within Islam ... isn't this subject to interpretation?
