[quote]>>And if two men cannot be found then one man and two women from among those whom you deem appropriate as witnesses so that if either of them gets confused the other reminds her. (2:282) >>More specifically, [b]does the Qur'an require the witnessing of one man to stand equal to that of two women?[/b] As far as I know, 2:282 is suggestive as opposed to being directive. Just like the issue in the verse on women beating after separation of beds for nushuz. It does not mean you have to do it, the verse simply offers a suggestion. So any extrapolation on 2:1 stands wrong, in my opinion. Obviously there are women bankers and financial experts, so it would be quite absurd to consider the ratio as being 2:1. PS: Saadia, I am so sorry, once again I ahve managed to delete your post in the general forum. Given my extreme workload these days, I am getting quite absent minded. My apologies. But please post your message again for us all in that 'homo guilt' forum. Edited by: junaidj on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 6:56 AM[/quote]
