If you'd like I can drop a truth bomb,

the idea of a sole breadwinner and stay at home wife is a white idea originated out of fears of race suicide and proeugenics

The time it ”flourished” (1950s) America had the highest levels of unionization, high tax rates on the wealthy https://twitter.com/notchaand/status/1285570850478006277
Massive state development projects, a great number of white men had GI Bills stuff, you had the FHA give subsidized loans for new housing

also the greatest proportion of women working came from married women who's husbands were not breadwinners
Married women actually helped many families move into the middle class

and then America was one of the few nations to have it economy and society destroyed after the war

all this talk of male breadwinner today is complete nonsense
It's not even a transhistorical phenomena

Women have always been coproviders

We just assume it's the norm and read in that assumption into our religious interpretation

its one of the most ”modern things” to come about
So how do we understand mean obligation of mahr and nafaqah in Islam towards their wives,

I have my own ideas but people are very resistant to even looking at facts historical about male breadwinner cause muh masculinity is defined by being a wallet
At the end of the day Allah is arraziq

he provides, we spend

we don't ”provide”
