6. Was my husband gay? (Part 2 - Aleenah's Story)

This episode is the final part of two episodes that explores an asexual marriage. The intention behind this candid conversation is to bring to light the serious issues that can happen in a marriage, that nobody openly talks about. We hear a brutally honest account of Aleena’s short-lived marriage. This is not a discussion about the rights and wrongs of same sex attraction in Islam - rather it is focussed on the manipulative behaviour of someone we believe who has not come out of the closet, who wilfully misled his wife into marrying him only to then bodyshame her and make her feel inadequate, rather than owning his sexuality and being honest. Any comments made referring to Aleena’s husband, is not in reference to his sexuality; rather they are directed to his behaviour as a husband. Listen to episode 5 for part 1.
