Club to coach wives to be 'whores in bed'
The 'Obedient Wife Club', which is launched today, urged its members to be "whores in bed" and obey their husbands to curb social ills like divorce and domestic violence.
The 'Obedient Wife Club', which is launched today, urged its members to be "whores in bed" and obey their husbands to curb social ills like divorce and domestic violence.
Islamic group Global Ikhwan held the club's inaugural meeting in Templer's Park, giving women tips on how to keep their men satisfied and prevent them straying.
Its vice-president, Dr Rohaya Mohamad (

“If the wives need our help we can train them on sexually satisfying positions. It is important to be a good sexual worker so that the husbands do not go to prostitutes,” said Rohaya, who has served with the Health Ministry for 15 years and written speeches for former ministers Dr Chua Soi Lek and Chua Jui Meng.
“We are an open organisation and will allow all races to come forward and seek our help to be obedient to their husbands. The club’s slogan is ‘Remain a virgin spiritually, mentally and physically’," added Rohaya.
"A good wife is perceived to be prim and proper - you just take care of the children - but not much is emphasised on fulfilling sexual needs of the husband. If he needs sex, obey him."
The event was officially launched by Selayang Umno deputy chief Mohamed Nasir Ibrahim (

He called on about 1,000 people present, including 10 newly-wed couples, to be loyal to each other and continue to nourish a long and lasting marriage relationship.
“I welcome the setting up of the Obedient Wives Club which will help and counsel families to stay together,” said Mohamed Nasir.
The launch of the club was held in conjunction with a mass wedding of 10 couples, with the brides all members of the new club.
'A good sex worker to her husband'
Rohaya said that the international edition of the club was launched on May 1 in Amman, Jordan and they have about 200 members from Syria, Egypt and Jordan. In Malaysia, the membership totaled about 1,000.
Rohaya said 30 percent of the club members were in polygamous marriages while the rest were in monogamous relationships and that the club was open to non-Muslims.
"You must satisfy your husband. A good wife should be a whore in bed," said 46-year-old doctor, whose husband has three other wives.
“A wife who obeys and fulfills her husband’s sexual needs will always be loyal to her. In this rapidly developing world, women are already being treated as sex objects... in magazines, on TV... so why can’t they be sex objects to their husbands?
"It is legal and permitted by God. A good wife is a good sex worker to her husband. What is wrong with being a whore in bed to your husband?” added Rohaya.
She said that tomorrow, she and some of her members will leave for Rome, London, Frankfurt, Paris and other cities for business and to also explore the possibility of setting up more Obedient Wives Clubs in these cities.
More than a year ago, Rohaya was the prime mover of a Polygamy Club whose leader was the late Ustaz Ashaari Mohammad of the former Al-Arqam.
She said that the club was formed in line with the Prophet’s teachings that the wife performs her daily prayers, fasts during Ramadan, maintains her chastity properly and be obedient to the husband.
“Women must understand that men and women are created differently and men have more sexual needs, and it is for this reason that men can have four wives according Islam,” said Rohaya, a third wife with eight children.
“All problems start at home, and wives must take charge of looking after their husbands and children well,” she added.
Club faces criticism
Mohamad Shurahbil Amran, 23, who was one of the grooms today said: "If the wife is obedient, then the husband feels good and is entertained and this builds a closer relationship and greater love and no one strays," said.
His bride Umuhani Lokman Hakim, 19, dressed in a golden white Arabic wedding gown, was unforthcoming when asked why she joined the club and would only say: "It is the right thing to do to keep the family together."
The club has come under criticism from women's groups who say the onus on keeping a family together is being unfairly placed on women.
"With obedience comes submission, which may lead to domestic violence and marital rape," Women's Aid Organisation head Ivy Josiah told AFP .
"We should really be forming equality in marriage clubs," she added.
Women's rights group Empower said the club was a step back for the progress of the equality movement.
"We cannot go back to caveman days where the man pulls the woman by the hair and takes her to the cave to have his way. We must recognise that women contribute a lot more than just being a sex toy," the group's executive director Maria Chin Abdullah told AFP .
In 2010, a study by a Muslim activist group found men in polygamous relationships find it difficult to meet the needs of all their wives and children, and that the result is often unhappy and cash-strapped families.
