You may have thought that the old sexist ways of thinking about women were gone, but one cult still reveres the sex object ideal. In one of his many sexual musings, and he had many, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad writes the following:
The translation of which reads:
For instance if a wife becomes unattractive because of age or some disease. Then the performing strength of man becomes useless which consequently affects the performance of woman. However, if a man is ugly it does not harm the woman because he has the key to the intercourse and man is the one who satisfies the women. However, if the man is impotent, then the women can take divorce as per Quranic injunction.(A'ina Kamalat Islam 282)
We don't know which is more disturbing, the fact that the value of women is reduced to the sex act, that they must be beautiful while men don't have to bother or that the Ahmadi site this came from actually sees this as a sign of respect????????
