NEW DELHI: Several Muslim scholars, social workers and intellectuals on Saturday said that all religions of the world, including Islam, give equal status to women without discrimination.
"There is no discrimination against women in Koran. It is not correct to say that Islam is anti-women. It is some people who give a wrong interpretation of the Koran to exploit the women," Vice President of All India Muslim Personal Law Board Syed Kalb-e-Sadiq said here.
At a function on the occasion of birth anniversary of Hazarat Fatima Zohra, the daughter of Holy Prophet, organised by Iran Culture House, Sadiq said Islam is not against reasoning and justice. "The time has come for proper interpretation of Shariat laws."
Chairperson of Guild of Service V Mohini Giri said there was a need to remove women discriminatory laws from the country.
"We must have a comprehensive women friendly law as soon as possible," she said.
