The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) established complete equality between men and
women, with both having their respective special functions. This volume draws on the features of the Muslim Woman pertaining to marriage in accordance to the
Qur'an and Sunnah drawing upon specific examples of incidents as well as
different prominent female figures in Islam during the Prophet's lifetime. It
shows that much of what we imagine to be Islamic rules are no more than social
or cultural tradition. It is short and concise and approaches wronged popular
thinking in a good-natured manner all the while correcting much of what has
been misinterpreted by culture and tradition. This book is well-sourced and
given the topic, beneficial for all Muslims to pick up at some point in their
lives.
