Do Muslim reformers really believe they are the first to notice that gender disparities exist in Islam law? When it comes to marriage, eye witness testimony, inheritance, etc., were Muslims of the past just unaware of these disparities, or were they too ignorant to understand — as the modern reformers do — that gender disparity is tantamount to injustice, oppression, and abuse? And were they too incompetent to do anything about it? Only a couple of options. Either past people really were that stupid and/or unethical.

Right to possess property, right to divorce, to choose their own destiny, basic stuff like not being eternally a minor due to your reproductive properties.
Trans people are fighting for more trivial “rights” like toilets, pronouns and acceptance but they do still benefit from all of the above legal opportunities.
My husband and i ended up being absolutely delighted Edward could complete his homework from the ideas he discovered from your very own site. It’s not at all simplistic just to be giving away helpful hints that many people could have been making money from. And we discover we’ve got the blog owner to appreciate because of that. Most of the explanations you’ve made, the easy blog menu, the friendships you assist to create – it’s all excellent, and it’s assisting our son and our family consider that that content is brilliant, and that’s extraordinarily fundamental. Many thanks for all!
