Whole jatis could raise their social standing, but violating rules…

    The rise and expansion of Islam both broadened and restricted women's rights throughout the 20th century. There is evidence of prior advancements towards women's rights found in the ancient writings of The Holy Qur'an. Women in every religion, especially Islam, had to fight for their own rights. In Islam, that fight is continuing and many documents, photos, quotes and other sources show the back-and-forth struggle to get women out from under the veils and into the lights.…

    Women in ancient Rome and China were very different but quite similar as for as their treatment and roles were concerned. In both cultures they were under the protection of their fathers until they married. When they married they were to stay home and be wives, they were not formally educated and learned to manage their households. They were not allowed to disgrace their families in any way and were inferior to men from the moment of birth.

    Marriage is also known as “Nikah” in the Arabic Language and is overly encouraged in the Islamic faith by the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and Allah Almighty. To prevent indecent acts such as pre-martial intercourse that could possibly result in unwanted consequences like illegitimate birth, the idea of marriage is considered a duty upon all Muslims. From an Islamic perspective, it is a sin to force any individual into a marriage contract as the Quran states “there is no compulsion within Islam.” Though there are cultural practices in other areas of the world that demonstrate the injustice of forcing their women into marriage, the Holy Quran detests the act greatly. When marriage arrangements are taking place, it is vital for both male and female to accept one another as a suitor before consenting to the marriage contract. It is advised for both to speak about their life to one another and discuss any conditions that may cause a problem in the future. However, to build this understanding, it is important for a chaperone to be present in their little meetings. Such regulations are put forth as both are not ‘Mahram’ to each other which simply means ‘unmarriageable kin’ and the Holy Prophet once stated: “Whenever a non-mahram man and woman meet in seclusion, Shaytaan definitely is the third one joining them.” [Tirmidhi] The statement identifies the Shaytaan which is the Devil, as a temptation between the two if there is no chaperone present. As the temptations are natural, it is forbidden for a male and female to be alone.…
