[quote]Some say that Islam is not a patriarchy. I do not think so. I think Islam endorses patriarchy. Patriarchy: social organization marked by the supremacy of the father in the clan or family, the legal dependence of wives and children, and the reckoning of descent and inheritance in the male line. (Meriam Webster dictionary) In spiritual matters, Islam gives equal status to men and women. But in worldly matters, Islam does not give the sister the same share of inheritance as her brother who gets twice her share. Islam recommends or orders testimony of two women equal to that of one man in financial matters. Quran states that men are a degree over women. Islam grants men to marry multiple women. Islam states husband can give talaq. Do you believe that Islamic system is not a patriarchy? Why?[/quote]
