DRESS CODEIslam requires that they
wear proper, decent, modest, and clean clothes. Muslim
women also are instructed by Allah in the Quran to wear a
Hijab.
DRESS CODE The most prominent traditional wear is the MALONG, a large, colorful woven cloth wrapped
around the body. One common way women wear it is around the
waist with its folds draped over the left arm. Men wrap it around the
waist like a skirt.
COURTSHIPMuslim Filipinos
observe traditional
courtship and marriage
practices just like other Filipino
groups.
COURTSHIPBecause
marriage is considered an
alliance of families, relatives
on both sides have a say on the
union.
COURTSHIPMajor Moro
groups expect the man to court and
marry a woman who comes from
the same status of his family.
and MARRIAGE
Dowry. A bride-gift is an essential part of any proposed union. It is meant to compensate the bride’s family for the loss of a woman-member and to reimburse the cost of her upbringing.
Arranged Marriage is mainly due to prestige and the parents’ wish to enable their children to enjoy a better social and economic life.
POLYGAMY
Polygamy was permitted as long as his wealth was sufficient to provide for more than one.
They believe that such arrangement is beneficial, for it means that there are extra hands for house and field works.
“Marry of the women that please you, two, three or four, but if you fear that you will not be able to deal justly with them, then only one.” - Allah
DIVORCE Divorce is allowed in Islam but not encourage nor to be
taken lightly.
Divorce is also possible on the grounds of incompatibility, sterility and infidelity. An unfaithful wife caught in the act may be simply killed on the spot or the bride price is returned.
It is not allowed for the woman to force her husband to divorce without any misdeed or corruption on his part.
INHERITANCE
This share depends on her degree of relationship to the deceased and the number of heirs. While many societies around the world denied women inheritance, Islam assured women this right, illustrating the universal justice of Islam’s divine law.
Islam gave women the right to own property and inherit from relatives, which was a revolutionary concept in the seventh century. Whether a woman is a wife, mother, sister, or daughter, she receives a certain share of her deceased relative’s property.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
She also has the right to work and spend the money she earns as she wishes. She has no obligation to share her money with her husband or any other family members, although she may choose to do so out of good will.
In Islam, women are not obligated to earn or spend any money on housing, food, or general expenses. If a woman is married, her husband must fully support her financially and if she’s not married, that responsibility belongs to her closest male relative.
