RE:Why so many versions
by N on Dec 04, 2007 03:51 AM

What does Bhagvat Gita or Ramayan or Upanishad has to say about voting rights of women? What does Bible and Torah say about it?
There are no 2 version of Quran but the interpretation may differ. There was no voting 1400 years back although Islam introduced democracy but it was not the same as today and only a selected bench of scholors used to vote for the ruler and it did not advocate dynasty rule. QUran might not ask women to vote explicitly but then there is nothing that stops them from voting. Contrary to the wide spread belief Islam gives more legal rights to women than any other religion. A woman can have right in her parents property. A widow or divorcee can re-marry. Killing girl child is strictly prohibited. A woman can run a business she can offer prayers along with MALEs etc etc.
Brother Sohail wanted you to get in touch with Cleric so that u get all questions answered at once and if u are really serious to get answers then u must not mind spending time and energy to find the real truth even if it hurts a bit :)
