Islam raised the level of women, and allocated for them, as men, equal rights and responsibilities that take into account the nature of humankind. Women in Islam have been given the right to ownership, making business and donation.

Islam prohibited anyone to seize her wealth except with her agreement. Islam gave women the right to inheritance, education, seeking and acquiring knowledge is an obligation on all Muslims, male or female.

It is not allowed to force  women in marriage because the validity of marriage is contingent on her consent. Moreover, the married women are completely free from the obligation of supporting and maintaining the family. Working married women are free to contribute to the household expenses, or not, as they see fit. Women have the right to seek divorce if it becomes necessary.”
