Some people find it easy to regard women as weak and to defame
them. Such situations, in which money is involved, represent one of
the climates in which such people may well attribute crimes to a

that eliminates the danger of such false accusations.

This also represents a source of security for a woman in psycho-
logical terms. It can be very risky to forget such details as the amount

of the loan or repayment terms when witnessing such a transaction.

also have a responsibility to be fully aware of, and not forget, the de-
tails concerning the loan borrowed. In this way, this
responsibility that one woman might have to bear
is divided between two. Even if a woman has a

very good memory and takes precautions not to

God regards men and
women as enjoying equal
status as witnesses in the
Qur'an. Nowhere does the
Qur'an say, "One male
witness is equal to two
female witnesses."
