Input: I work in a very intense environment, with 12 staff. I’m the direct supervisor of 4 of those staff. 

All staff, bar one, are white-anglo. The other staff member is Syrian and Muslim. Let’s call her Zara. I am her direct supervisor. Generally I think we’re pretty mindful. We always order halal food, and organise to go places that suit her. 

However she’s pretty open on some aspects of her life being pretty fucked up. Her 21 year old daughter isn’t allowed to drive, or go out without an escort. She was forced into an arranged marriage at 14 with a 35 year old man. They’re still together and have been in Australia for 25 years, but her husband doesn’t speak any English and I think is pretty emotionally abusive tbh. 

Anyway, once every 3ish months we all organise to go out on a “staff night out” somewhere fun for everyone. Lawn bowls, or teppanyaki or something. It’s by no means compulsory - one lady only comes at Christmas no worries - but everyone enjoys it and it’s just a fun way to unwind. Usually, people bring their partners, which is great as we’re all very close. 

Zara never brings her partner, and none of us ever ask. No one has met him and everyone knows the history of their relationship. I’ve only become Zara’s supervisor this year and last week she came to me to ask whether I could bar partners from attending our staff night out. I told her I’d think about it, but the next day told her I wouldn’t as it had nothing to do with work. She then said it made her feel bad her husband couldn’t come and the reason her husband and her’s relationship is the way it is, is a religious thing. She said by not barring other’s partner I was not respecting her religion. 

I basically told her sorry, bad luck, and escalated it, but have been stewing on this all week. 

So, Reddit, AITA for somehow being islamophobic  here?
