    In a truly 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 or want 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…

    Here is an article taken from a speech which details some of these rights: Ideals and role models for women in Islam

    Thank you for posting this. It’s so important to learn more about the true beliefs/principles of Islam, or any other religion or culture, rather than painting them all with one broad stroke.

I'm single, Italian, Leo, and sarcastic. I don't hate men, I just hate the way some act. I'm pro-choice, feel everyone should be allowed to get married by the state, and a feminist who believes that no gender should be made to feel inferior to another.

BTW, you may see stuff from me show up as FrayedEdges. That's my default name and my art-related blog on here!!! :-)
