Re: Why are two woman witnesses, equivalent to only one male witness in Islam ?
Since financial responsibility is shouldered by men, they are expected to be well versed in financial transactions as compared to women.
In today's society, a woman would be schooled in finance and the man would (or should) discuss finances with his wife.
Even so, what if the man becomes disabled or is otherwise more suited to stay home, and she end ups the bread winner? No, not an ideal situation, but a possible scenario.
