Why does Islam consider women of lesser value?

Question

“Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”
- Quran, Sura 4:34

“The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females.” – Quran, Sura 4:11


PS: Please don't deny that Islamic law values men more than women, the proof is in the Quran.

Answer 1

Many people of different religions treat women of lesser value..

However

Islam is unique in that its primary source text (the Qur'an) actually quantifies the difference in the value by stating that one man is worth two females.

Answer 2

According to the history, Islam is the first religion who recognize women and put it at the right place.

You've pick two verses from the whole Sura showing that Islamic law values men more than women. You should read the rest of the Quran where women are highly regarded.

Science study also shows that women are different compared to men. It was design that way. Man has their own task and women has their own special task and place in the eye of Islam.

Answer 3

In 4:34, the expression means "The men are made responsible for the women, and GOD has endowed them with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners." This expression simply means that God is appointing the husband as "captain of the ship." Marriage is like a ship, and the captain runs it after due consultation with his officers. It does not assign inequality but rather assigns duties to avoid conflicts and disputes. (basically, the man is the head, the woman is the neck) males and females have different traits, but are EQUAL.

As for the second one, this is talking about inheiritance if you finish the sentence. Because the male is typically the one supporting his family, he needs the money more. In cases where the females need it more, you can give it all to them.

Quran 3:195 tells us :
"Their Lord responded to them: "I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you MALE OR FEMALE, YOU ARE EQUAL TO ONE ANOTHER"

Answer 5

that's not basically important to understand, what religious scripture says (and that i doubt maximum folk criticizing the Quraan have study it), yet additionally how we interpret it. in basic terms some centuries in the past "religious catholics", reported by using the Pope, performed lots of the harshest killings in human historic previous, believing completely, that they've been doing God's will. in recent times i do no longer understand any priest who does not admit it replaced into extraordinarily incorrect and non-christian. to answer that question we ought to continuously learn a real Muslim's view of the Quraan, besides by using fact the Quraan those women human beings have got here upon. and ultimately we ought to continuously see in the event that they have been unhappy interior the christian society. possibly the Christians surrounding them did no longer behave in a christian-like way? possibly they got here across the Muslims to take their scripture far extra intense? i'm no longer contained in the area to understand. keep in mind that blaming the Quraan for the violation of the rights of ladies human beings, equals blaming the bible for the inquisition, the crusades, or for burning of "whiches" and scientists on the stake.
