Yikes! What a ridiculous and stupid mentality of these people! There is no end to what these people will do try to keep the women crushed under their feet and at their mercy all the time! :angry: :angry: It has already been made a law in Pakistan that a rapist cannot be called a rapist or punished for the rape if the witness to the rape is a woman or a non-muslim, and now this in Saudi Arabia! :angry: What more is to come now??

In Islamic tradition, two women's witness is equal to one man's. They cannot change the religious law which is considered divine. Whatever be religion, this binds humanity, particularly weaker- women and downtrodden.

The problem is that the women in muslim countries are so brian washed that they probably would accept such things as their fate! Unless thyere is mass movement against these mullahs nothing much can be changed ...

The truth is that these poor women have been kept under the thumbs of their men for so long that it has now become a habit for these women probably! And these people are too religious to raise any kind of movements against these mullahs!

Even the educated ladies are the same.I was watching a program on discovery about Islam and some of the women interviewed were from Iran , eduacted and well placed.They were all for purdah and felt that what their religious leaders ere doing was right since they were nmore learned than them ! So what can be expected form the lesser educated poorer women ?

There many women in India too who are of the similar attitude and opinion. At least in Iran we can forgive them for thinking in such manner because that is the only thing they know. But in India? They have lot of concessions, there education for girls, so many new avenues are opening for them to make careers and still they feel it right to treated in such a manner!
