The renowned cleric advised men to avoid marrying women who cannot cook, calling it “excellent counsel.” He said: “If she can’t cook, if she can’t be hospitable, you’re heading for trouble.”
He also stressed intelligence and hospitality as biblical requirements for a wife.
The comments have since sparked fierce debate online — traditionalists agree, modernists are pushing back hard.
