Women can't refuse
October 29, 2006
An Islamic group praised by the Howard Government as preaching moderation has advised its followers that a woman cannot refuse to have sex with her husband.
The advice was posted on the website of the Darulfatwa organisation, in response to questions posed by readers.
One asked: "Is it haram [forbidden] for a lady to say no if her male partner wants to make love with her?"
The Islamic scholars replied: "In this case she should not refrain from such a legitimate right of marriage, but she could Islamically request for a place of living from her husband."
Darulfatwa spokesman Mohammad Mehio said Islamic teaching was that a wife could not refuse sex unless she had a good excuse such as being ill, tired or depressed.
After The Sun-Herald questioned Mr Mehio about the answers on the website, he said they posted a "clarification".
The answer to the sex-in-marriage question was changed to: "In this case she has the right to refuse."

Affection more than sex!
I guess I could fake affection better than I could sex. :-)
Yup, been doing it for years....
The Quran in Sura (Chapter) 2:223 says:
Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)
(This is actually a response to a question about allowable sexual positions. The questioner starts off by saying, "The Jews say that if you enter a woman from the back the child will be cross-eyed.") - I'm not kidding!
The Prophet said, "If a man invites his wife to sleep with him and she refuses to come to him, then the angels send their curses on her till morning." (Bukhari; see also these two parallel hadiths: Muslim nos. 3367 and 3368)
There are a ton of translations out there of the Koran and the Hadiths which are commentaries on the Koran. The Hadiths are collections of sayings attributed to Mohammed and commentary.
That is the funniest post I have read in years! Good one!
Lets see, I bet the answer is she can refuse but the husband can then beat her so long as there is no permanent damage.
Well done, not a bad quiz either.
