Marriage is a partnership and it is not about lust and gratification,says PKR Wanita chief
PETALING JAYA: A call by the Obedient Wives Club to improve th wives performance in bed has been taken to task by PKR.PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin said that the club reduced men to “sex animals” and regarded women as “prostitutes”.
“Marriage means much more than sex (…) Marriage is viewed more as a
partnership, and is akin to a contract between two people.”
“Both husbands and wives have a part to play to uphold the
institution of marriage. There is no justification to impose the burden
on the wife to make the marriage work!” the Ampang MP said.
Zuraida was referring to a statement by the club’s vice-president Rohaya Mohamad, who reportedly said: “It is important to be a good at sex so that the husbands do not go to prostitutes.”
In an attempt to curb rising social ills, the club’s leaders aim to teach women how to please their husbands better.
Zuraida on the other hand, vehemently disagreed with this view.
“Is (Rohaya’s) statement supported by any facts or statistics or is that a personal opinion?” she asked.
She said that there was more to marriage than the fulfillment of sexual desire.
Citing factors such as communication, understanding and respect as a recipe for a successful marriage, Zuraida warned: “If men are only for sex, we don’t need a marriage to satisfy that.”
She said that the club’s stance actually encouraged the enslavement of women by their husbands through obedience and sexual satisfaction.
“She has to know that what she advocated is akin to advocating abuse and violence against women,” she said, and demanded that Rohaya make a public apology over her choice of words.
