Death sentence for servants<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
An Indonesian migrant worker, Rohana, could face the death
\npenalty for allegedly killing her employer in Singapore,
\naccording to a report on July 4. In March 2004, two other
\ndomestic servants, Juminem and Siti Aminah, were also charged
\nwith murder in that country.<\/p>\n
There are other such cases involving Indonesian women working
\nabroad. Apart from their motives, these unskilled workers sought
\noverseas jobs as servants to increase their income or to make a
\nliving after their husbands and fathers had lost their jobs.<\/p>\n
In Islam, it is permissible for women to work as long as they
\ndo not ignore their duties as housewives and mothers, because
\ntheir husbands are actually obliged to earn a living. Likewise,
\ngirls should maintain their self-esteem and be supported by their
\nfathers.<\/p>\n
The public welfare created by an Islamic system of
\nadministration makes it unnecessary for women to work.<\/p>\n
