Husbands that never see their wife’s faces

[African]

Some quotes from the article;

 

.....often the first time even a daughter sees her mother’s face is after the mother’s death.

Saud Al-Otaibi also found his wife fiercely loyal to the custom. I tried to blackmail my wife by saying I’d marry another woman if she didn’t show me her face, he said.

 

But he was in for a surprise. “Instead of giving in” she said, all right, marries someone else. And she set me up with a friend of hers who wasn’t so strict in her adherence to the custom, and I married her.

“This has nothing to do with Islam,” he said. “It’s simply one of the traditions that some tribes follow.

 

“In Islam, a husband can, of course, see the whole of his wife’s body. The face is the least he’s entitled to,” he said.
