WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

 

Islamic women

In Islamic countries a woman’s life seems to be less worthy than that of a man. For example, in a court of law, a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s.

In addition, the legal age for girls to marry is just nine years old, but boys are allowed only after the age of fourteen. As a result, pedophiles are able to exploit and subsequently leave young girls.
