Overview

If justice is an intrinsic value in Islam, why have women been treated as second-class citizens in Islamic legal tradition? If justice is an intrinsic value in Islam, why have women been treated as second-class citizens in Islamic legal tradition? Today, the idea of gender equality, inherent to contemporary conceptions of justice, presents a challenge to established, patriarchal interpretations of Shari‘a.
