Dear Medical Dr, Dear Hijabie, First, this is not about feminism. You have to understand the Islamic context of what I wrote.
A Muslim woman can be educated, independent, a doctor, a professional & still recognise that marriage comes with certain rights & responsibilities. Seeking or considering a husband’s input is not the same as being incapable of making decisions about your own health.
Islam does not teach a woman to neglect her health or surrender her judgment. It teaches spouses to consult, respect and consider one another, especially in matters that affect the family.
So this is not about choosing between “myself” and “my husband.” It is about understanding marriage through the lens of Islam rather than through feminism or individualism.
