After Mother’s Day, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced the need to show more respect and care towards women. He noted that there is nothing wrong with the celebration of this non-Muslim holiday by Muslims.
“Friends who do not understand the intricacies of Islam and Chechen traditions, people mistakenly believe that misogyny prevails in Chechen society. But what can we say, even some harsh and strict horsemen believe that showing respect for mothers, sisters and wives in the form of a bouquet of flowers, gifts and warm congratulations is a shameful act. You don’t have to be so hard on the fair and weaker sex. It’s not easy for them without it, ”he wrote on his page in“ Vkontakte ”.
Mr. Kadyrov in his post recalled the sermon of the Mufti of the republic Sheikh Salah-Khadzhi Mezhiyev, in which it was said that Allah taught to treat women in the same way as he himself and “to be patient with our women, to show them more attention and warmth, to take care of them “. According to the head of Chechnya, those who “accuse Muslims of celebrating non-Muslim dates,” such as Mother’s Day, are “ignorant” who “do not know how to be grateful even to their mothers.”
In November, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for the first time recognized the existence of systemic discrimination against women in the North Caucasus in their right to raise and even just see their children after a divorce or the death of their husband. The complaint was filed by a Chechen woman Luiza Tapaeva, whose four children were taken by her father-in-law after her husband’s death. Now the Russian authorities must pay the woman € 16.2 thousand and restore her right to contact with children.
