Obedient Wives Club
The Obedient Wives Club is an international Islamic religious organization which claims to promote harmonious families by teaching wives how to be submissive to their husbands. Composed of up to 3000 members, this group currently operates in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Kazakhstan, and Jordan, and in 2011 it declared plans to open chapters in England and France in 2013. In October 2011, the Obedient Wives Club published an explicit 115-page sex manual, titled Islamic Sex, a highly controversial book, which encouraged wives to act like "first class prostitutes" in order to keep husbands from straying. This book is currently banned in Indonesia and Malaysia. Despite the book only being available to its club, some of its content has been made known, sparking fierce debates online. Mainstream Muslim organizations in Malaysia have also disparaged the club.
