Finland: Muslim men rape and beat their wives, threaten to kill them because they asked for divorce

A worldwide culture of violence. But if you say anything about it. You’re the problem.

“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” — Aisha (Sahih Muslim 2127)

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460).

There are no excuses allowed for any reason: “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle” (Ibn Majah 1854).

“Muslim duo raped their wives in Helsinki, drove victims to seek shelter and threatened their lives- explanation in court: ‘Man just being a man,'” translated from “Muslimikaksikko raiskasi vaimot Helsingissä, ajoi uhrit suojaan ja uhkasi henkeä – selitys käräjillä: ‘Mies on mies,'” by Solmu Salminen, Iltalehti, in Tundra Tabloids, October 13, 2019:

Successive incidents of honor violence held in Helsinki courts. The actions were justified, among other things, by Sharia law.

On the same day, the Helsinki Court of Appeal handled two restraining orders relating to honor violence. District Court decisions remained in effect. Men had beaten and raped their wives because of their demands for a divorce. One of the men appealed to Sharia law. Male violence and a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam led to restraining orders.

The Helsinki Court of Appeal has rejected two consecutive requests for further processing of restraining orders stemming from Islamic honor violence.

In both cases, the restraining order became final. In both cases, a man committed sexual and physical violence against his wife because of the woman’s demand for a divorce. Both women were also threatened with murder.

In the first case, the district court issued a restraining order in June. A Yemeni woman was married to a man, forced to marry at the age of 15 – the victim was told to have suffered repeated acts of violence. According to the complainant, the man repeatedly forced her to have sex, restricted her freedom of movement, and beat her.

– [The man ] had told the complainant that he would rather kill the woman and bury her in the sand than agree to divorce, the court quotes.

– Every time the complainant had asked for a divorce, [the man ] had strangled her and said that “you are my property” and that the defendant would by no means consent.

According to the wife, sexual violence also included assault if she did not consent to sex. The woman made at least two reports of crime and fled to a shelter.

According to – Sharia – law, divorce was not possible without the consent of their parents. It was a family affair. The man had promised the woman’s parents that he would take care of it, the man is said to have stated in court.

In another case, the district court issued a restraining order in July. Even now, the Muslim man pesters his wife violently: he threatened her with a knife, raped her so that the victim was leaking blood in the genital area, among other things followed her in the streets. The district court document does not disclose whether the sex offense has been reported to the police.

Again, the rage had risen from divorce intentions. The woman discovered drugs such as opium and cannabis from her husband. The man threatened her with a knife when she wanted to call the police.

– The defendant had always said proudly that he was not like other men. If the wife divorces, he first kills the wife, then the children, and then himself, the district court will refer to the woman’s story.

The man also threatened to poison his wife several times and injure her in a wheelchair. He also blamed his threats in consultation with outsiders. One came to testify in court.

– The defendant had said that as a man, he would not succeed if his wife wants a divorce, then the sentence is death, only a man can want a divorce, the witness said.

The couple has two children. The woman had to change the locks on a detached house due to his menacing behavior.

In both cases, the district court issued a primary injunction. The District Judge, who had dealt with the former, commented separately on the underlying phenomenon.

– Honor Violence aims to save the family’s reputation or honor, which is considered to be spoiled as a result of the abuse of a female family member’s community moral and chastity rules, the District Court writes.

– The circumstances that have arisen and, in particular, the demand for divorce is completely forbidden for women are all very typical motives for honor violence.

That was the muslim version.

Now, the American version (circa 1950s)

1.) Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs.

2.) Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

3.) Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

4.) Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

5.) Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. and then run a dust cloth over the tables.

6.) Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

7.) Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes.

8.) Children are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.

9.) Be happy to see him. Free him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him.

10.) You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first — remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

11.) Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.

12.) Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where you husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

13.) Don’t greet him with complaints and problems.

14.) Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.

15.) Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

16.) Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

17.) Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment of integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

18.) A good wife always knows her place.
