طلقها يا اخي مالك حق تكسر موترها و عظامها عشان توظفت و انت ما تبي بأي حق !!
“Divorce her, you have no right to break her bones because she was hired,” another Tweeter, Al-Fargad wrote.
عقد الزواج شيء وعقد التملك شيء آخر، للزوجة الحرية في تقرير رغبتها في الوظيفة من عدمها ولا يحق لك التحكم في حياتها وكأنها ريموت في يدك، هي زوجة وليست جارية.

حتى لو أخطأت فلايحق لك ابدا إهانتها بأي شكل، ما أكرمهن إلا كريم وما أهانهن إلا لئيم.
مالا ترضاه لأختك لا ترضاه لبنات الناس
“You have no right to control her life as if it were a remote control in your hand. She is a wife not a maidservant,” another Twitter user wrote.
