Quran doesn’t define ideas. It tells the parameters. Husband is to be obeyed but not in the matters of sin and disobedience to God. Also, she is not supposed to obey unethical or exploitive order. Her human rights must not be violated.
-
Well, that makes sense to me. So my question is if husband says to serve his parents (cooking food for them, washing their clothes). Is it sin, disobedience to God, unethical or explotive order?
-
If its a request then no issue. wife can do out of kindness. Kindness never go unrewarded.
If husband force to serve his parents then it come under exploitative/unethical -
So, it is said we should be obedient to our teachers. If they forces us to do something, will that be considered as exploitative.
-
In obedience, there is not question of request and force. You should always have to admit.
-
The example you give is not comparable to this case.
You need to understand in terms of contract, responsibilities and duties.
Serving parents don’t come under the marriage contract or responsibility of wife. So in this regard husband can only request.
-
Where is that contract, responsibilities and duties mentioned in Quran. Quran didn’t mention any of these rather Quran uses a general term obedient.
-
When Quran talk in general there is already a background to it. It donot specify everything. Just an example, Quran donot tell the stories of Qom AAd or Samood but ask to ponder upon it. Its because there is background info available to it.
