Right to Financial Empowerment of Women: An Analysis of Sharia

Abstract

    The position of women in the pre-Islamic era in the period of ignorance, called Jaliyah before the dawn of Islam, was very miserable. Women were just treated as inferior beings under customary tribal laws existing in Arabia. The inheritance was mostly passed by the male heirs, and the women had no property rights. In this article, a descriptive evaluation has been done regarding the distinctive Privileges given to women in Islam: Maintenance for women as a wife and daughter. The nation of maintenance in Islamic Law/Sharia was to provide support to the one not having the capability to maintain oneself; maintenance involves the fulfilment of basic requirements of a person for sustenance, e.g. niceties of life. In the circumstances where a woman gets half of the man's legacy, the lady's new income is safe by the Sharia and is hers to allocate with as she desires.
