Women in Islam

…

…women in the society, making them virtual second class citizens. This is evident through the marriage and divorce laws, emphasis on education and work, and the traditional responsibilities of women. The Koran, despite being the ever-upholding word of God, sends mixed messages about the importance and worth of women in Islamic society. It is through these interpretations that women are pushed down below men, and an unjust standard of living is created between the sexes.
