Woman in Islam

by Ram Swarup

This study discusses woman's status under Islam. It discusses Islamic laws relating to marriage, divorce and dower; it discusses polygamy and concubinage which were not long ago important political institution of Islam; they were made possible by its fast-growing Imperialism and they in turn had fully served its expansionist needs. The author also mentions Islam's treatment of the infidels, a related and even more cruel aspect of the same problem, and also a question of grave concern to the non-Muslim world.

This book gives information about marriage, divorce, dower(mehr), rights and duties of marriage and forms of divorce. And book ends with problem of reform. It was quite an educating book for me.

[Shubhank Singh Chouhan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A much needed concise book on the matter that is widely debated and seldom understood. It clarifies all the facts and presents it in a manner that even a layman can understand. A groundbreaking work by Ram Swarup ji, it should be read by all.

This book clearly states that reform in Islamic society & its norms are next to impossible.
