hmm i kind of get what you are saying, i have come across aalimahs who sometimes don't know rulings for certain things which has surprised me, is there a reason why they do not study in-depth even though some of the courses are full-time 5years same as the aalim courses?

This thread looks bad because it suggests to people that there are really no advantages of marrying an Aalimah.
If you are an Aalim you will have more knowledge than her anyway so you won't benefit from her knowledge.
And if you are a non-aalim then you still cant benefit from her knowledge because she might become arrogant so you shouldn't ask her about masail

Would ALL the students who have a B.Admin or BA or BBA know majority of the things taught in the respective selected subjects? Lets take one such course, Advance Accounting normally taught in the 3rd or 4th year of the University course.

The answer to that is exactly the answer here as well. Many Alims and Alimah's study through the courses. It does not mean they have mastered these subjects. Analyze your own field of expertise. If you are lets say a Math Teacher, you must have finished your matriculation or something. Then can I ask you a question relating to some other subject within the spectrum of Matriculation and expect a thorough answer?

I have passed through the Alim course as well, yet I shudder to sit and teach some one Tajweed course. That is a field I need to study very hard. Now if somoene questions me on Tajweed, do you expect me to make up an answer to save my face? or to simply say I dont know you rather ask some other competent Alim of the field.

I find it very disturbing to see that in one shot we discredit all the Alimahs, who also have spent time to learn whatever deen they have learnt. The same Alima is comfortably trusted to teach ones own child the adaabs and maktab, but we dare not let them feel any happy if they have to answer their husband's question. Need I remind that Nabi

not only took mashwarah from his wife, but acted upon it as well. It is our own lack of understanding that we feel that asking something from the wife may instill pride in the wife.

What happened to all those debates of woman's right etc. Those abilities and rights also empower these women to have the ability to be in a place to answer you (husbands) and guide you in different issues of deen and duniya.

As far as indepth masa'il are concerned, then what is a layman non alim going about asking indepth questions in the first place! A proper layman's majority of worries are with regards to basic issues of taharah, salah etc. which are dealt in Bahishti Zewar, taught in EVERY Alima course. Anything beyond that, in case someone is faced with some intricate issue, then that is something even Alims have to rummage pages about before answering. Although, in those condition you would be seeking muftis and not just Alims.

Please do not take the post in a negative tone, I just am baffled that an Alimah's qabiliyat [ability] is being questioned merely because she is a woman and a wife.
