Women in Islam

What does Islam really say about women? This work is a collection of major references to women in the Quran and Hadiths, the two central "Pillars of Islam" on which Islamic legislation and social practice are based. The Hadiths are taken from the collections of Bukhari and Muslim, the Sahihain or two sound collections generally regarded as the most reliable. Topics covered include hygiene, divorce, marriage, sex and chastity, inheritance, and status and rights.
