Voices of discord

A young wife complains about her husband. “I’m tired of his constant claims and reproaches, I cannot please him, he does not notice my work and he does not appreciate me. Yesterday I took the child and left him,” she writes on social networks.

Nearly two hundred female voices respond. And almost all of them, with rare exceptions, not only support the young woman, but also actively call for an end to her family past.

Almighty Allah gave humans a mind, but, apparently, not everyone knows how or wants to use it. How to understand people who are pushing a person to divorce without fully understanding the situation, without listening to the other side, simply based on one emotional message about the husband’s constant reproaches and nitpicking?

Even if everything is true there, from the first to the last word, since when have emotions become a good adviser? Why not reassure the young mother, tell her that she needs to talk heart to heart with her husband, tell him about her feelings and experiences, try to understand each other, find common ground, or, if you yourself cannot, connect those who can?

No! Need to get a divorce. Guys are bastards, you are beautiful, what else does he, the goat, need, let him beg on his knees, you can handle it, and so on in a similar spirit; almost 200 comments.

Which of these “sympathizers” will remain with her when, having read all this nonsense, she takes and destroys the family completely? How will she ever explain to the child why she deprived him of his father’s warmth and support, why she listened to those for whom her life is just another episode of Santa Barbara: they talked and forgot?

And where is the conscience of those newfangled “bazaar” women, who, seizing the smartphone keyboard, sow the seeds of discord?!
