The wife stipulated in the marriage contract that her husband should let her stay in her country and not make her move with her husband to another country. What is the ruling?
-
Praise be to Allaah.
If the wife or her guardian stipulates that the husband should not make her leave her house or her country, that is a valid condition and he must act in accordance with it, because ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir narrated in a marfoo’ report: “The conditions which are most deserving of being fulfilled are those by means of which intimacy becomes permissible for you.” (Narrated by the two Shaykhs, i.e. al-Bukhaari and Muslim). Al-Artham narrated that a man married a woman on the condition that she stay in her house, then he wanted to make her move. The dispute was referred to ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) and he said, “She has the right to the condition she stipulated.”
But if the wife agrees to move with him then she may do so, and if she frees him from this condition it no longer applies. If there is any dispute concerning this matter it should be referred to the local sharee’ah court in order to settle the matter.

How 2 manage yourself, - Do women really like sensitive men

What women are looking for
It might be very hard to describe what women want exactly if the bigger picture wasn't taken into consideration. When looking for a potential partner women pay attention to so many little details that men hardly bother themselves with.
The fact that a relationship , which might include child bearing, is more taxing for a woman makes women more cautious when it comes to choosing a life partner.
For every rule there are exceptions but generally women look for the strong, tough, masculine, protective and resourceful male. In my book The psychology of physical attractionI said that most woman will always select the type of man who can help them provide the best resources for their offspring.
Women do certainly care about looks but looks are just a part of a much bigger equation that women use to asses potential partners. See Do looks really matter to women.
But what about sensitivity?
Do women like sensitive men? Or do they prefer a different type of man?
Most women don't find sensitive men attractive
In one study it was found that women were less interested in the man who was considered very responsive to their needs. In other words women found the more sensitive man less attractive.
The study concluded that women considered sensitivitya feminine trait which makes males less attractive. In other words because women are looking for the strong and protective man they might assume that the sensitive man is weak.
Let me stop here for a moment to say a very important thing. Ask most women about what they want and they might say that they want a sensitive nice guy. Now put them in the game and you will find many of them choosing the abusive , less sensitive jerk over the nice guy who is always available for them. See why nice guys don't get girls
It's not that women don't know what they want but it's just the fact that they were biologically designed to look for the strong macho man. Sensitivity is not a bad trait but it can sometimes be interpreted as a sign of weakness or lack of masculinity.
But again this is not the case of all women. Some women will intentionally look for the sensitive man and will get repelled by the unresponsive man. But the facts we have from studies show that those women are the minority and not the majority. See Why nice guys finish last.
Women don't plan for that
Most women don't plan to be with a non-responsive less-sensitive partner but they just find that man attractive because he seems strong, capable, powerful, less needy and resourceful.
While a typical woman might say that she wants a sensitive guy who can understand her and be there for her as soon as she comes across that unresponsive-macho man she will find him very attractive.
Because sensitivity makes a person seem needy many women actually get turned off by the sensitive man once they sense his neediness. I have said earlier that women get repelled by needy menfor they assume that those men are not demanded.
If you really want to understand how attraction works then you need to look at the big picture to understand the full dynamics of the process. Once you get that full picture you will understand why many of the things that seem logical might not really work when it comes to attraction and dating.

Rulings on Marriage, - * She got burned and it left scars; does she have to tell her fiancé?

I am a girl, twenty-five years old. I was in an accident as a result of which I suffered burns, the scars of which are still present on both my legs. Now I am engaged; do I have to tell my fiancé about these scars before doing the marriage contract? I would like to tell him about it but I feel too shy to talk to him.

Praise be to Allaah.
If the scars from the burns are large and disfiguring in a way that could be off-putting to the husband, it is essential to tell him before doing the marriage contract, because withholding that information is regarded as deceit. The basic principle is that any defect that could be off-putting to the husband and prevent fulfilment of the aims of marriage, namely compassion and love, must be disclosed and it is not permissible to conceal it.
But if the scars are not very visible or they are unlikely to cause the husband to be put off, then you do not have to tell your fiancé about it, because that is not regarded as one of the defects that would affect the marriage.
In the event that it is obligatory to tell the husband about it, that could be done through your father or brother, so that you can avoid talking to your fiancé unnecessarily, because he is still a non-mahram to you like any other non-mahram.
We ask Allah to help and guide us and you.
And Allah knows best.
