Egyptian TV Debate: Should Women Be Allowed to Run for President?

Sheik Abdallah Rushdi: Sir, God created the husband to be the guardian of his wife. He is her master, her man, and she obeys him. So how can my wife possibly be president of a republic? Will she listen to me or to the populace? Let's assume that a woman becomes the country's president, okay? The country is in a critical state – just like it is right now. Then her husband says: Either you resign and sit at home, or I will divorce you. What will we do then? You tell me. Should she lead her home to destruction or resign? The president cannot be subordinate to any other citizen. He must have the final say. Source.
