Hello Joe, the examples that you gave of abuse of women go totally against what the Quran and the sunnah teach. And if you were to have an inkling of knowledge about Islam you will understand why the majority of people who accept Islam in the West are Women. This website is a testamony to that as most of our members are indeed women.
ANd i find it ironic that Joe comes here to bash Muslims and preaches from the bible in support of his own views. Also, misrepresents the status of women in Western Christian society.
Christian Women could not divorce in Europe. Remember King Henry and his 7 wives? His Christian faith would not allow him to divorce, so what did he do to Divorce them? He had 2 of them executed! - Oh, and the last witch was killed in the 18th Century.
English Witches 1735 Witchcraft Act
81 people from Prestonpans who were killed during the witchcraft trials of the 16th and 17th century.
American Witches!
Salem Witch Trials 1692
It was the result of a period of factional infighting and Puritan witch hysteria which led to the deaths of 20 people (14 women, 6 men) and the imprisonment of 150 more people.
Infact, women were seen and still are seen as sexual objects. They are seen as the carriers of Eve's sins. They are seen as temptresses and evil
We are not even talking the middle Ages, but relatively recently.
There have been a few history lessons you have obviously missed out on:
There would not have been suffrage or the great "emancipation" movement that occurred in the 20th Century!
Get your Facts right first:
Property Rights of Women in Nineteenth-Century England
English Law:
- A married woman has no legal existence whether or not she is living with her husband;
- her property is his property;
- she cannot make a will, the law gives what she has to her husband despite her wishes or his behavior;
- she may not keep her earnings
- he may sue for restitution of conjugal rights and thus force her, as if a slave to return to his home;
-she is not allowed to defend herself in divorce
- she cannot divorce him since the House of Lords in effect will not grant a divorce to her;
- she cannot sue for libel;
In short, as her husband, he has the right to all that is hers; as his wife she has no right to anything that is his. (33)
The property rights of women during most of the nineteenth century were dependent upon their marital status. Once women married, their property rights were governed by English common law, which required that the property women took into a marriage, or acquired subsequently, be legally absorbed by their husbands. Furthermore, married women could not make wills or dispose of any property without their husbands' consent. Marital separation, whether initiated by the husband or wife, usually left the women economically destitute, as the law offered them no rights to marital property. Once married, the only legal avenue through which women could reclaim property was widowhood. Women who never married maintained control over all their property, including their inheritance. These women could own freehold land and had complete control of property disposal. The notoriety of the 1836 Caroline Norton Case highlighted the injustice of women's property rights and influenced parliamentary debates to reform property laws. The women's movement generated the support which eventually resulted in the passage of the Married Women's Property Law in 1882. England's mid-nineteenth century focus on married women's property rights culminated in the transformation of the subordinate legal status of married women.
ISLAM Does Not Forbid Women from having an Individual Status. She is not The Property of her husband.
She has the Right to divorce, keep her money and spend it as she wishes, she has the right to education, right to be provided for by her husband properly, right to work. Many Rights. I Suggest You look at My Signature to Learn More!
