Are Muslim women being
portraying in true light of Shariah?
Many of the proverb address
woman as backbone of family, which hold true with the contemporary era of woman
empowerment and its practices. Be it mere
an addition of extra coach exclusively for women in Delhi metro or
running special local trains for women via Mumbai local , women are
special and the societies which have
believed in this conviction have flourished and progress to the unparalleled
volumes.
Islam as faith came to India
through Arab merchants who settled for
trade around Malabar coast with them came the preachers and clergy and thus
gave rise to an Islamic society , which has reached to the firm presence of 15
million today.
Women are believed to be suppressed and
exploited in the islamlic society and that has truth inhibited in it , the true
picture of woman has been exploited and used in altered manner
rather than portraying Her in
original and sublime manner as mentioned in Holy book and by Hadith of Prophet
Mohammed, He himself presented by marriage proposal by a lady 17years elder to
Him who finally became His wife.
Islam has been painted in poor
light of extremism due to few individual
, which could be found in other faith easily. There is very thin line of
difference between being fundamentalist
and being extremist .Islam requires its
followers to lead a disciplined life, the code of conduct taken into
consideration therein is known as SHARIAH.
Shariah is the Jurisprudence of Islam
that engulf distinct annals of
discipline which guide the Muslims to
lead their lives.
As Islam is a flexible faith
the Shariah has been used by many of the followers to their temporary benefits
but in the long term one can’t take advantage of being stronger in
any respect over the feeble .Through the years our
society has witnessed many of the cases including
infamous Shahbano and Imrana case which
has put the Islamic Jurisprudence at the
stake and misused Shariah to uneven
volume and Indian constitution was
forced to bring about
changes in the Muslim personal
law thereafter.
Every coin has two facets like every
power has advantage and disadvantages.With respect to the increasing
cases of domestic violence in extreme
cases domestic violence leading to death of spouse , has been drawing
attention and raising brows. The jolts
of free trial come primary
due to flexible Muslim personal law
that ultimately delays justice and we know justice delayed is
justice denied this ultimately sparks debate of every sort and start
speculation of Islam being a hardliner faith .
As present there are thousands of pending cases in the court of India in which woman has been exploited and
Islam is no exception. The judicious and
sparing way of ceasing the violence against women in Islam
would be framing higher power
steering committees, which should
include representative of law ministry
of India and constitutional expert along with clerics and representative
of Muslim personal law board and take on
the challenges we are facing and framing better laws in accordance with
Shariah so as to ensure the non violence
of women rights.
