| In a Truly Islamic society women
have the following rights in Islam: 1. The right
and duty to obtain education.
2. The right to have their own independent property.
3. The right to work to earn money if they need it or
want it.
4. Equality of reward for equal deeds.
5. The right to express their opinion and be heard.
6. The right to provisions from the husband for all her
needs and more.
7. The right to negotiate marriage terms of her choice.
8. The right to obtain divorce from her husband, even on
the grounds that she simply can't stand him. (please note that God deeply frowns upon
divorce as a solution unless there is hardly any other alternative but it does not mean
that men have more right to divorce their wives than women do.)
9. The right to keep all her own money (she is not
responsible to maintain any relations).
10. The right to get sexual satisfaction from her
husband.
11. custody of their children after divorce.
12. to refuse any marriage that does not please them.
and more...
Here is an article taken from a speech which details some
of these rights: Ideals and role models for women in Islam. |
