Facts:
Women are abused everywhere.*
Domestic violence exists everywhere**
We live in a male dominated society***
Muslim women in eastern countries are abused****
However where Western women have achieved freedom in many aspects of there life eastern women have not.
Why is that? CULTURE!
people make the mistake of mixing culture with religion all the time. Islam does not say to treat women badly , Islam says that both are equal. Hijab is mandatory for women but if they do not wish to wear it there husbands can't force them to wear it because its between them and God. Muslim women get 1/2 of the inheritance because in Islam men is the one who is responsible for money and food and shelter, women get to keep there money. Islam lets women have careers and every freedom.
but where there is good there is also bad.
Muslim countries men treat women as second class citizens.
Even in Pakistan, I used to live there till I turned 12 then we moved. I remember never wanting to get married lol
