THE ARGUMENT

Family planning is still a debatable issue in the Middle East, where the role of the state is increasing. Some favor limiting the family size and others don't. Both sides base their argument on God's teachings. Some say it is allowed by God and some say it is forbidden by God.

EDUCATION AND ITS ROLE IN THE ARGUMENT

Education level for both men and women plays a key role in family planning, especially that education in the Middle East is highly respected and a desired commodity.

But in spite of the changes that are taking place, whether the increase in the role of the state or the education level, the existence of the family unit is still a plus for millions of people in the Middle East today.
