Dear Friends,
It is the time to get out of the shells and face the reality. We are living in a global village and we have to give rights to our opposite sex. In my opinion it needs a change in attitude rather than religion. We are doing a lot of un-Islamic things like Interest etc but we have given it excuse. We should bring a change like followsâ¦
1. The subordinate place of women in Religious societies should give way to full social and legal equality.
2. Women should have freedom of action, be able to travel alone, be permitted to uncover their faces, and should be allowed the same property and inheritance rights as men.
3. No girl or woman should be subject to ritual mutilation of her person.
4. No girl should be forced into marriage, and no girl should be permitted to marry until fully physically mature. Every woman should be free to marry a man of her own choice without permission from a putative guardian or parents, or to remain single if that is her choice. They should be free to divorce and be entitled to maintenance in the case of divorce.
5. Women should have equal access to education, equal opportunities for higher education, and be free to choose their subjects of study. They should be free to choose their own work and should be allowed to fully participate in public life-from politics and sports to the arts and sciences.
6. Every woman should be free to enjoy all of the rights enshrined in the relevant UN Covenants.
