There is no compulsion in religion:Quran
by yawar on Nov 11, 2006 01:26 PM

In Islam,there is complete equality betn men and women in all respects of duties and rewards and a difference in responsibilities in relation to the nature of their creation.One is not superior to another;only different in terms of some responsibilities,like the upbringong of children.A women has a right to own property and income.She need not share it with the husband at all.On the other hand a wife has a right in her husband's property and income.It is the duty of the husband to support the wife unconditionally.A woman has right to marry any Muslim of her choice and Muslim mother has the right to be paid to bring up children including nursing them if she wishes so.She has the right to divorce the husband even without his consent and she can have this writen in her marriage contract whereas the husband can divorce his wife only for specific reasons in the presence of 2 witnesses after first exhausting all avenues of resolving differences.The wife has the right to recieve the Mehr(bridal present)and not to pay any dowry at all.She also need not serve her husband's parents or family.Get one religion that gives so much rights to a woman.If not,please read the
translation of Quran.
