[wanabidii] Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Should wives be paid?

Househelps have conditions of their service specified and they get paid. No condition of service is defined for housewivws yet they are occupied (employed 24 hours in a day). So what is wrong in some monetary renumeration being paid for the work done by housewivws?

Here
is Roy Hauya's take: 
-----------------------------------
"We
need to understand that if a woman is paid for the chores
that she does at home, she can also be dismissed for
unsatisfactory performance and no divorce will be needed.
The husband - wife relationship will disintegrate and usher
in the employer – employee relationship, making the
sanctity of family lose worth, hence prompt unmatched
domestic violence. This
is why I find the suggestion very demeaning to the women as
it reduces them to glorified housemaids."
