Arab Culture & Infertility

RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND ITS IMPACT ON THE REACTION TO MALE INFERTILITY IN THE ARAB COUNTRIES

Religion Stand Point

Islam urges people to seek medical advice and treatment. This includes all diseases including infertility and even contraception. If all treatment modalities prove unsuccessful this is accepted as God's Will and should be respected. In the old ages, and for economic reasons (and ego reasons as well), a man always wishes for a son and not a daughter. This makes him a better and more powerful male. If he get a female, this is usually blamed on the wife. Sometimes they remarry to get male offspring. It has been stated in Quran that having male or female is determined by God's Will. Couples should accept and be content about God's Gift as it is. As mentioned females are to praised exactly as males.
However, in Islam the matter of ancestry is of major importance. No surrogate mothers. No gamete donations. No embryo donations.
If a man is to remarry, he should give all his wives the same rights. Marital, companionship, treatment, economic, children privileges, separate homes…etc.. Otherwise he should not remarry.
