Imagine a woman stealing an apple. Now imagine a man stealing an apple. Theft is forbidden in Islam. The sin of stealing for both a man and a woman is equal. In no verse in the Quran, or in any hadith, is it written that a woman’s sin is less than a man’s. Islam is very clear that a woman’s capability to do wrong is equal to a man’s. How then is she not equal to him in all other matters?
