Then it's a redundant statement as I've already said that it is indeed practised.. I opened this thread to clarify that it's not an Islamic rule but caused by male dominance.

AbuAmerica is right when he says that westerners seem to link every mistake that Muslims do to Islam whether the mistake is cultural or due to ignorance or negligence..

Why do I care to clarify? Coz I love my religion and hate to see it being wronged..
