| description |
Women’s rights issues have marked its spot as one of the most debated issues throughout
centuries. Marriage is regularly portrayed as an “oppressive sphere” for women, with
their rights being oppressed the moment they enter a marriage contract, especially in
Islam. However, further reflection on the issue has shown that Islamic matrimony liberates
women, preserves their honour and place in society, and abolishes injustice, when guided
in principle from the Qur’an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Regrettably,
Muslim’s misunderstanding due to cultural interpretation and malpractice of original
Islamic teachings has tainted the true Islamic ideal. In dealing with the data, the study
utilised an inductive method and content analysis, and aimed to draw attention to the
misunderstandings of marriage in Islam with regards to women’s rights. Further discussion
would serve to explore the outcome of women’s rights in marriage as bestowed by Islam,
and understand the importance of the marriage institution, whilst examining the compelling
misunderstandings by detractors. |
