Oh, JohninKansas, I have a LOT of trouble with your conclusions regarding fundamentalist people. I have known many, many of them- until I was 18 or older, I probably didn't even meet any men that were NOT fundamentalist. And I have NEVER met ANY that behaved in the fashion that you describe and accept as normal for them.

The fundamentalists I have known and know now are moral people, most are decent people, most value their women as essential in the home and venerate them as such. Any instance of something as extreme as you describe would not ever be accepted or condoned.

Extreme control issues such as those you list above are aberrations in any society.

This young woman you cite, in my opinion cannot be used as representative of any healthy person. Assuming she did not marry before the age of 15, she has had 8 marriages in 20 years. In my estimation, she is sick; she is not simply making bad choices.
