over the weekend i managed to to watch a cerekarama entitled "Rendang Untuk Mertua" screened on TV3. in one of the scenes, this script was uttered between Marina (played by the aspiring actress Fazura) and her husband;
"Hawa dijadikan dari rusuk Adam untuk dijadikan teman. Bukan dari kepalanya untuk dijunjung. Bukan dari kaki untuk dijadikan sebagai alas. tetapi dijadikan dekat dengan lengan untuk dilindungi dan dekat dengan hati untuk dicintai".
many know that Islam is a religion which liberalize the position of women in the society. in the Quran there is even a surah entitled Annisa (women) and in the religion many aspects of women are being paid close attention to.
but why women are still being oppressed even when more women movement are fighting for women's lib? more women are being manipulated, abused, bullied, harassed, denied justice, looked at as men's playthings, etc.
there are women issues which are circulating in national newspapers everyday e.g Nurul the singer claimed that she had been divorced three times (what are her rights, what did she do) while singer-composer husband Ajai denied (which one is right?, in sydney women who did not cover their head was labeled 'exposed meat' (is this an accurate perception?), the free lance Mongolian model who was blown to pieces after a love gone astray (what sick people would do this), and many others.
men are supposed to be protectors of women and women who are bestowed with compassion, love and affection in their heart should cherish their counterpart. together men and women are supposed to live together in the blessing of God. Where have we gone wrong?
