Women in Islam according to the Hadith - Islam is a religion of DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN: According to the Quran, Hadith and Sharia Law: i) (Quran 2:228 - Pickthall translation ) "and the men are a degree above them (women)." ii) Women have to follow a modest dress code and should cast their outer garments over their persons Quran 33:59, yet men do not have to. iii) A woman according to Quran 43:18 is a creature who in dispute cannot make herself clear? Prophet Mohamed felt women are lacking in brains and religion, and the majority of Hell's residents are women (Bukhari 1:301 and also 2:541). iv) When it comes to testimony in courts, women testify in pairs, as one man testimony is equivalent to 2 women in Islamic courts (Bukhari 1:301) v) Also women inherit half as much as their male counterparts. (Quran 4:11-12) vi) They are not allowed to travel without a male companion and cannot pray in mosques alongside men. They have to go to the back of the mosque or preferably pray at home with their children. (Bukhari:1763) vii) Women can only marry muslims and have a single partner (Quran 4:22 to 24), men on the other hand dont have to marry muslims and can marry up to 4 women (Quran 4:3) viii) A woman should not fast without the permission of her husband nor can she marry someone without the permission of her father, brother or male guardian. (Bukhari 5192) ix) A nation headed by a woman will never succeed, and the worst sin and distraction from virtue is by women (Bukhari 4425) x) According to the Quran in certain circumstances it is ok to beat your wife. Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is great.
