Re: Role of women in world’s major religions and why?
Deedawar,
The views on married female inhertiance is not different from what the French Philospoher Roge or the English Muslim said.
But you omitted the point - Are inhertiance laws only applied to females who are married? :rolleyes:
The Quran says
-
Allah chargeth you concerning your children—to the male a portion equivalent to that of two females" (Chapter 4: 11).*
Note : The world children your children?????The same concept is applied to the brothers and sisters of a deceased person. The Qur’an says*If there be brethren - men and women - unto the male, the equivalent of the portion of two females" (Surah 4: 176).*These are acknowledged by all the Muslim scholars without exception.
So now please answer this
Even if the sister is still single, why should her brother receive double her portion from the inheritance and have control over her expenditures? He may spend the money on his own pleasures while his sister could be wiser (which normally always is) and more prudent than her brother, who may be younger than she. These situations happen daily in Arab and Islamic countries. Any man takes twice what his sister receives. The only reason for it is the inequality between females and males. Why does this happen?
Al-Mawdudi tells us it is because this is one of the decisive Islamic laws based on an indisputable Qur’anic verse in the Chapter of Women. This is the inequality of unfair Islamic law.
Or
Is it not possible that the sister may be married to a poor man and have many children, while her brother may be a rich businessman or single without responsibilities?
You selectively applied your logic only to married women and to the divorce thereafter. Please also include the non married ones also. Where are they in your reply I am still thinking .
