their husbands grooming
themselves. Then the 8th
Imam (a.s) asked if I would
like to see my wife in a
dishevelled state. Imam
Raza (a.s) quoted on the
authority of his
grandfather that the
women of the Israelites
turned away from chastity
for no reason at all, except
that their husbands didn't
groom themselves.
Then the Imam (a.s) said:
Women expect the same
things of men that men
expect of them. Some men
are really unfair and don't
groom themselves. They
don't go to the barbers
often and they smoke
cigarettes. Therefore their
teeth and mouth are dirty
and bad-smelling. They
don't wear the appropriate

clothing and don't care
about their looks. Yet they
expect their wives to
submit themselves to them.
These men are oppressors
