What are women's rights in Islam?


In a truely 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.

  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...(pls 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...

Women are treated so nicely in Islam and have more rights then non-Muslim Women.

Women are not just given rights they are given heights...
