Women

Gender inequality has always been around. Men have been portrayed as the dominant gender since the beginning of time. Although women's roles have increasingly become more significant throughout history. In Islamic society, women played higher roles than in earlier societies such as Ancient China and Roman times. These three time periods show how women's roles has somewhat changed in societies over time. In Ancient China, families honored their female members. A Chinese man may have high status by the virtue of the female line of his descent. Temples could have been dedicated in the memories of queens. Unfortunately, the establishment of the Shang and Zhou states caused the recognition of women in China to die out. The states payed attention to the military and political contributions of men, which strengthened their patriarchal society. Queens and empresses no longer had temples built in


It also stated that dowries went to the bride instead of their husbands. The Quran helped to support the importance of women in Arabian society. Although women's roles have become more important (which increased over time) in society, women are always seen in the shadow of men. Some managed the financial affairs for family businesses and wealthy estates. It made it illegal to kill female infants. Women were only allowed to have one husband. The pater familias had full control of their children. Islamic holy law gave the social and sexual lives of Muslim women to their fathers, brothers, and husbands. Women were not supposed to attract attention. Arab women could legally inherit property. Women were seen as individuals equal to men. On the other hand, women in the early Islamic World were given more recognition than women in Ancient China and Roman times. During the Roman times, women had been given authority and power within their family. Arab women were fortunate that the Quran enhanced women security such as outlawing female infanticide.
