Fatemeh Badaqi, the member of cultural and social service in Iranian parliament said in an private interview with Iwna:” with an entire view to this issue we can say that there is no law discrimination between men and women, but, accordance with the qualifications, features, and duties of men and women, we sense some law discriminations between men and women. These differences have been arranged in terms of their creation. The commands are accord with these different creations. Difference is apart from discrimination.” Iwna reported.
She added:” the differences arranged according to the tastes and features, but discrimination is injustice. The differences in qualifications arranged according to wisdom to any one take a specific duty and be their supplementary top each other.”
He added:” the differences produce more symmetry amid men and women for conjugal life. God has established appropriate commands due to differences in men and women’s nature, maybe, in social relations, some affairs are of worth for men and some for women, like providing expenses is men’s duty and family’s consumed economic arrangement is on women. So, if some social positions considered masculine, not only is not indicative of women’s inferiority, but also a duty division to better access to perfection.
Mrs. Behrouzi, the researcher in this issue, said: “In human evolution program, there is no difference between men and women, but a perfect equality lies. For better understanding, refer to some verses of Koran:” if any religious men and women do a good deed, he/she would enter the paradise and would receive not a little cruelty.”
“In another verse, we have: God has offers bless for all Muslim men and women, like verse 195, Ale Emran Sura, 97 Nahl, 40 Qafer and 13 Hojarat.
Also, Imam Sadeq said:” women’s blood price is half of the men’s.” we have this, too, in Sunni disciples.
“Blood price in Islam, has been compiled according to men and women, difference not only adds men’s dignity, but also not decreases women’s. Men and women’s differences return to their creation and their roles in family.” She said.
Also, men’s duty is apart from women’s. This makes his economic duty becomes further in family. So, his economic value gets more than women’s, not his humane value, for men’s humane value is equal with women’s humane spiritual value. We can estimate the humane value’s price.”
“In ability to achieve moral perfections, both are equal. In blood price, the spiritual aspects of the murderer do not affect, but, it is the economic value of the murdered person. If the murdered is a man, his blood price is more, due to his abilities and the duties he has got on his back and remained after his murder. If the murdered is woman, her blood price is less, for she has no specific duties. This is difference not discrimination.” She speculated.
“On the other side, men’s doubled blood price does mean that all the family members exploit his fund, because their expenses are on man’s shoulders. So, it spends in family affairs, which women are a part of it, especially it leads to death sometimes. More blood price is not received to the men of the family, but to all of the individuals within, consisting women.” She stated.
Referring to men and women’s giving evidence, Badaqi classified:
1. Giving evidence in court is not a right taken away from women, but a duty, and its reticence are forbidden. It is apparent that not hiding the evidence and sins makes sense in the places of responsibilities not right.
2. Law-making is not a value of discussion, but a relation arrangement in which duty division according to the abilities and capacities and also social realities, are one of its certain principles.
According to the above points, we conclude:
“In most of law cases, men and women’s moral mechanism is difference. Giving evidence and informing the judge, is not related to men and women’s identity and nature, in some cases, when the evidence is related to women, men’s evidence is not admitted, for men can not be evidence in such situations, in the cases that the men’s presence are further, the women’s evidence is not necessary.”
“On the other side, according to psychological opinions, women have got fragile spirit, they are more sentimental and easy of belief, so, they accept more rapidly and more affected, and give evidence according to these features.” She added. Iwna reported.
In some cases, Islam, has exempted men from giving evidence and placed it in women’s realm. But, in some other cases, in contrary, it has exempted women from giving evidence and placed it in men’s realm, and in some, two women’s evidence is equal with one man’s.
Two women’s evidence is equal with one man’s in some cases like murder and adultery is properly due to women’s psychology, for:
1. Women are more decent than men. Due to their dignity, they don not gaze at some scenes like adultery, unlike men who are much more curious to find out. Women’s procedures in confronting with such cases are not a deficiency, but, naturally, the possibility of error in identifying the people is more in them. The increased number of evidence reduces the rate of errors.
2. Women are more sentimental than men. This is not considered a deficiency for them, but their perfection. But, these features have specific situational impression of which we should be aware.
Women’s half heritage does not mean their personality is divided. In Islam, the women’s humane identity is equal with men. Subject of Heritage is an economic and financial which is based on social justice in Islam.
There are three assumptions in this issue consisting:
1. The cases in which men and women inherit equally, like when the deceased has got parent, each of them inherits equally about one sixth. Father’s share is not more than mother’s due to his paternal status.
2. The cases in which men inherit less than women like daughters who inherit less than sons.
3. The cases in which women inherit more than men, like when the deceased does not have any other Hair, save his father and a daughter. Here, father inherits one sixth and the daughter more than that Iwna reported.
- Referring to Imam Reza’s statement, Badaqi said:” When a girl married a man, she takes a property as her marriage portion. Life’s expenses are on man’s shoulder. Man should pay woman’s expenses, but there is no duty on woman, so, man’s right is more than woman’s in here.”
