Actually, the bit in bold is not true:
‘Islam recognizes women as individuals with specific rights. Among these are: the right to life, the right to learn; the right to earn, own and dispose property; the right to choose a husband; the right, as a wife,** to her pre-marriage standard of living;** the right to be treated equally; and the right to inherit. Women, like men, are rewarded by God for a righteously led life.’

There are multiple other sources confirming this, check out Sunnipath or Islam Q&A for more info. It all comes under issues of compatibility and is v.logical when u think about it. If a man wants to live with his wife in the box room of mummy and daddy’s house his whole life he should find a wife who is willing to accept that (and it is not recommended to live with inlaws anyway), not one who has been used to having loads of her own space (and privacy) and then expect her to ‘put up or shut up’ under the guise of Islam. Imo us desis are by far the worst when it comes to giving the rights women are entitled to in Islam and if u say anything ur labelled a raging feminist..
