(English) Women in Islam: the Provisions of Islamic marriage law

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.

(English) The public debate over women’s role in Islam tends in the West to centre round the issue of the head-scarf, seen as symbolizing women’s inferiority, yet not all practising Muslim women wear the scarf and not all of them are of the opinion that this is undispensable. In fact it is Islamic marriage law which cements women’s inferior legal status as divinely ordained.
