    Expecting less children from a woman doesn’t change her status of a producing machine either!

    This is not a way to understand a statement. Ahadith are understood in their context. People are valued according to their abilities. For example a working woman can be more value able than a housewife for some people. The more she earned the more valuable she is. Now one may say woman is a working machine.

    It all depends upon the circumstances. When increase in the population was required, it was instructed to produced more children. Then the only duty assigned to woman was having and raising children.

      Still, it seems as if the only task women were sent down was to have children and women only role was to just produce babies

    if a man and woman have strong desire to marry each other for long, but then one of them turns out to be sterile. does it mean it will be minor sin, makrooh to marry that spouse? and what if their rejection for marriage will hurt the other person very deeply?
