Status of Women in Islam



              “And from His signs is that He created for you spouses from

             amongst yourselves that you may find tranquillity with them and He
             has placed between you love and mercy. Verily in that are signs for
             those who reflect “ Qur’an 30:21
              “And live with them (your wives) in kindness for if you take a
             dislike to them, it may be that you dislike a thing, and God brings
             about through it a great deal of good.” Qur’an 4:19
              Islam also insists on a happy environment for the mother
             during her pregnancy on the grounds that the foetus is
             affected by his\her mother physically, psychologically and

             morally.


              As a mother of the child she has the right to claim
             payment from her husband for breastfeeding their baby if
             she chooses to do so. And above all, the husband cannot
             force his wife to conceive if she does not want to.



              It is essential to remember that the husband should take
             an active part with the mother in the spiritual, physical and
             emotional development of their children.


              Of course! Islam renders these affectionate acts for the
             woman and considers them good deeds and a way of
             approaching God.
