Please someone explain this? I've seen answers about polygamy in Islam and for some reason Muslims keep ....

Question

referring to unmarried women as "public property". They say since there are more women, it's better for them to share a husband than to become "public property".

What? and Why? How is a woman public property if she is unmarried? Being single is not a crime and nothing to be ashamed of and certainly doesn't make one a piece of property.

Please explain what this means and how this conclusion has been reached.

Thanks.

Please do a search on Yahoo. Put in public property or polygamy. This has come up a few times. I saw it in a question recently, which I will find and post and that made me search.

This is an old resolved question:

Polygamy is better or making women public property?
Women are more than male in number in this world. We muslims manage it through polygamy. Exess in number women becomes either public property or I have seen movies in which they put women before dogs and horses to shaft tender part.

This is the question I originally saw:

Search for "women become public property" and 37 results were found...most of them seem to be pertaining to Islam.

Why would I make this up?

Answer 1

some sects of muslims do that. And then there are some that dont care. Youre right being single isnt a crime, and it shouldnt be like the unmarried woman is a property. In Saudi woman cant even drive. I think its becuz the people think that the women arent like... strong enough to go out like that, due to many crimes. So I guess in some sects of Islam they forbid, but in some sects it is safe enough to go out and be alone. Other sects allow woman to be on their own and not as "public property". I'm not completely sure on the details, i think you may want to go onto google.com and look this stuff up.

Answer 2

i think they mean that everywomen needs a man or sumthin like that. 2nd thing women have the choice of accepting or not accepting a marraige in islam. agovesnd there is nthng wrong with single women not at all nd theres a verse in the quran which gives the right to women to stay single i cant remember it now but i know it exists.

Answer 3

Maybe they are referring to prostitution or the belief that women need to be protected by a man otherwise she is dependant on the public for survival.

Answer 4

Under Sharia law all women are property of their Fathers or their Husbands. No discussion. Under Sharia law a husband may beat his wife into submission if she refuses to obey her husband and will not listen to reason.
Under Sharia law a woman is not equal to a man. She may not leave the country without permission from her husband.

Answer 5

If you are married you are "legitimate" as it is not unlawful to have sex with a husband. Public property is probably a nice euphemism for "whore".

Answer 6

I'll put a check mark on this because I would like to know as well.

Answer 7
