INSIDE THE QURAN

The Quran...

  • Enhanced the security of women
  • Outlawed female infanticide- provided dowries that directly went to brides rather than their male guardians or husbands
  • Portrayed women as honorable members of society and equals of men before Allah
  • Women have both rights and needs

HOW QURAN SEES WOMEN

However, the Quran...

  • Reinforced male domination- similar to Sharia
  • Subjected social and sexual lives to strict control of their male guardians- fathers, brothers, and husbands
  • Allowed husbands to have up to 4 wives whereas wives could only have 1 husband
