In islam women cant divorce themselves unless they "sell themselves" back by returning a portion of their mahr to convince the husband to get divorced, and has to have a good reason. or she can ask the judge/qadi. Meanwhile all men need to utter is talaq 3 times
In islam, the mahr is seen as essentially a price for sexual consumption. Thats why women are cursed for rejecting sex (rape culture!!). thats why u return 1/2 before sex in divorce, or don't return it if no sex happened. it was described as price of the vulva by ancient imams.
in islam, enslaved and captured women from war were allowed to be fucked by their captors and masters regardless if they were married beforehand. Not only is it rape by power imbalance, but highly unlikely for any woman to consent to sex with the men who killed her male relatives
in islam, the quran clearly prescribes men having a degree over women and being our leaders. it allows men to discipline women in 3 steps, with the last step being a beating "idrabihunna" if they simply FEAR disobedience, which begs many questions
why physical abuse (some say by a stick or not to bruise her, but this still belittles her)? why discipline grown ass women? why does this punishment apply for simply FEARING disobedience/nushuz? For women, the quran lets women come to agreement with her husband if she fears +
+ Nushuz, a way better and more humane way to solve shit. but somehow women aren't deserving of the same respect and instead get beaten
islam views silence of virgins as consent for marriage, islam gives men the ability to decide whether a marriage is valid on the behalf of the bride (its up to him and she accepts/doesn't, if he doesn't accept, its invalid). hadiths even curse women who arrange their own marriage
and accuses women who do so of being adulteresses, which is rooted in the ancient custom of marriage being a process where the woman is sold to her husband from her father, contributing to the idea we're chattel
islam says that were it not haram, women would be commanded to prostrate to their husbands. That we'll make up most of hell for being ungrateful. that we're half as intelligent and religious as men. that touching us is equivalent to shitting in terms of impurity
the quran literally describes women as farmland that men can approach however and whenever they want to.
"2:23. Your women are like a tilth for you (where you plant seed to obtain produce), so come to your tilth as you wish, and send ahead (good issue) for (the future of) your +
"2:23. Your women are like a tilth for you (where you plant seed to obtain produce), so come to your tilth as you wish, and send ahead (good issue) for (the future of) your +
souls. Act in due reverence for God, keeping within the bounds of piety and obedience"
in islam, women are technically not allowed to go out without a mahram, especially in mixed places, nor are they allowed to travel after a certain distance without them, because they're a source of fitnah or could be harassed! which is victim blamey
the ayah that prescribes hijab literally says it prescribes it so that we don't get harassed. because we're such sexual beings and men can't control themselves so we need to control ourselves otherwise its our fault!
yes both genders need to lower their gaze but the burden of modesty is unfairly put on women. women are also told not to reject sex even if they're on the back of a camel or tanning leather. islam recommends marrying virgins (synonymous with younger girl in arabic) over others
the zina laws suggest that the only reason why adultery is haram is because the women is not in the ownership of a man, not because of the inherent betrayal of trust. because if it were so, men wouldn't be allowed to marry more wives w/out the consent of the 1st one, but they are
the fact that men are allowed to marry 2,3,4 wives as well as have an unlimited number of concubines just shows how much we're valued! like fucking cattle!
interestingly enough, men can swear themselves out of a zina case if his wife accuses him with no witnesses, and escape a death penalty while the wife gets punished for a false accusation (even if it can be true). Women however can't swear themselves out, meaning they get killed.
^cant swear themselves out if a man accuses with no witnesses. Speaking of witnesses, our testimony is considered half of that of a man in terms of business shit, and in many countries, not even considered for other basic crimes!
hadiths and quotes speaking about our value are strange. valuing us as mothers, tickets to jannah for our fathers, or half of a husbands deen. we're only valued if we benefit men
there are strange prescriptions for women about divorce. women are supposed to isolate for a period fo time after divorce in order to determine whether she is pregnant or not. however, this is also prescribed for women who can't get pregnant/too old/too young. whereas men have +
all the freedom to immediately remarry. women are also not allowed to remarry their divorced husbands unless she marries and has sex with another new husband and divorces him. again, the same thing doesn't apply to men
when a womans husband dies, the woman is commanded to mourn him by isolating herself, not going out unless necessary, no interaction with non-mahrams, no remarrying, for 4 months and 10 days, unlike the regular 3 days of mourning. this very strange practice shows how much men+
are revered in Islam and how women are prescribed to respect them at almost a godly level!!!
sexism doesn't end in the afterlife either. men get to have at least a minimum of two wives and virginal houris (women who were made to be more perfect than human women) for their sexual pleasure. whereas women who remarried get to only choose one of their husbands
which conflicts with the idea of we can get whatever we want? what if i want to be monogamous with my husband? what if i want lots of men too?
