ultimately, isn't the issue whether or not a man has possession of his wife, just like any other chattel? I'm a retired psychiatrist and spent much of my 42 yr. practice treating women for the stress, oppression, and powerlessness baked into modern marital practices. Fundamentalist Muslims have taken this culture to its ultimate conclusion: no education/work for women, breeding on demand, and total domination by their husbands, and death by stoning for stepping outside the marriage. Marija Gimbutas, mother to the "Goddess Culture" and author of a number of relevant and well researched books, determined from the archaeological evidence that men on horseback rode down out of the Eurasian Steppe about 3,500 BC, if I remember correctly, and transformed the earliest European peaceful matriarchal small villages into the patriarchy we have inherited today. What could go wrong? Everything?
