Never never would I agree to 'submit' to a husband or any man. My husband is an African muslim, and this has been rather a problem with us. It's not a 'new' idea; in fact it's the traditional and age-old view that women are in some way inferior and should therefore bow to a man's 'better judgment'. In my husband's country of birth, and among muslim women (as I understand it) women must comport themselves at all times with humility and deference. I'm a University graduate and retired teacher.I have an independent income from my pension and own my own house. I see no reason why I should defer, humble myself or submit to anyone! Are these folk living in the Dark Ages?
