🕊️ Conflict & resolution · #43

My spouse is so jealous that they control my every movement. Is that normal?

Moderate jealousy is natural, but jealousy that controls, spies on and isolates a spouse is unhealthy and can be emotional abuse.
Scholars distinguish praiseworthy jealousy (guarding honour against what is truly forbidden) from blameworthy jealousy (based on groundless suspicion). The Qur'an forbids suspicion and spying (49:12). Warning signs: checking the phone constantly, preventing meetings with family and friends, controlling all the money, threats or violence. Discuss it calmly and suggest counselling; extreme jealousy often stems from anxiety or old trauma. If there are threats or violence, call the police 999, Talian Kasih 15999. See Counselling.
