A recent case in Canada involved the conviction of a Muslim man who murdered members of his family, using the argument of honor killings. The judge did not buy it, and the man is going to appeal the case. Do men have such rights over women, to dominate them, rape them, and kill them? We asked this question on our Freedom Blog, and the comments came pouring in, full of controversy, that is, until someone summed it up by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to stop all mouths of controversy. We quote the comment here, and we include it in our doctrinal statement on covenants: “Men do not have a dominion right over women, nor do women have a dominion right over any man. Men have a covenant right to love, honor, protect, cherish, and comfort the woman that they have chosen to mate. Women have a covenant right to love, honor, care fore, advise, uplift, and comfort their husbands. Men and women have dominion right to rule over the Earth and all life forms within its field of influence. God never gave anyone the right to enslave another, only the right to help another prosper and develop a sense of worth.”
