[quote][b]A female witness is ½ of a man? An erroneous perception!![/b]

It is meaningless to suggest that a woman is half a man. The matter relates to a particular business transaction and refers to a particular situation where two men are not available for witnessing the deal. Ordinarily women do not like visiting public and private places alone as they feel shy and embarrassed being alone female amongst few men. Two sisters were present and they explained freely to Musa السلام عليه but when one came to invite him to home she came feeling shy and reluctant, as explained in Alqasas 28:23-25. In the particular situation a woman not related to men who are party in the deal would not be interested to become a witness at a business place in the presence of four men (two dealing men, one Katib, writer of agreement, fourth witness). But it has been made obligatory to become witness. Therefore it would have been against the human rights of a woman to compel her become a witness in a deal she is not interested/concerned in as it is against her Psyche. Therefore, two women are prescribed as witness. In the Court witness is only one. The other is to facilitate/suggest her companion if she forgets/neglects something. It is the will and discretion of the other to accept or reject. The court cannot interfere otherwise the witness of both will become meaningless and void.
I invite read a Book entitled Paiker Iffat  o  Haya, [b]in Urdu [/b] which has discussed this matter in detail quoting from the entire Quran e Majeed.
