        A very short-sighted "fatwa" in my opinion. So what happens if the woman learns to cook after marriage? Many have!!!

        , the biblical teaching is in line with African culture. The western inputs created most marriage failures.

        Any man that'll have a different view is either unmarried or very stupid. No one wants her if she can't make the house

        No need to make issues out of it. If she can't cook or make the house, how then is she a helper? #AccodingToTheBible

        Like you called it 'guidance', it's no rule or command; if you fine with it gud, if u are nt? see it as another person's Opinion.

        Praying for one or more hours doesn't make one to be a believer. Not every one who says Lord will enter..
