HUSBAND’S ATTITUDES TOWARDS WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN ISLAM

Abstract

In light of the current false perception that women in Islam are denied freedom and equality. This study will examine women’s empowerment and their husbands’ attitudes toward their work in Karachi. In this research, 200 working women are selected through a simple random technique. The Researchers designed a questionnaire based on socio-economic background, education, relationship with their husbands, personal, family, professional problems, Islamic perspective, and job satisfaction. This study discusses the husband’s attitude towards women’s work, new career opportunities, and thinking regarding women’s empowerment. After data collection, the results found that respondents believe men hold entirely working women’s lives, and it is a good sign for women, and a working woman’s inability to be financially independent hurt her husband’s self-esteem from an Islamic perspective.
