Verse?[edit]

The Punishments section starts out: "Ibn al-Qayyim comments on the verse as follows: ..." but no verse has been mentioned!!! Have added a verse, that seems to be the verse applicable. --BoogaLouie (talk) 18:49, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistan's legal position[edit]

Pakistan's official position appears complicated on the matter. Pakistan’s Qanun-e-Shahadat (Law of Evidence) Order, 1984 (Article 17) includes the relevant information. However, it pretty much just copies Q2:282, and as pointed out in the article, the wording of the verse draws both equal and unequal conclusions of women's testimony. Therefore, need secondary sources to confirm that the discriminatory attitude is actually being legally applied on the ground or not. The only secondary source I came across is Equality Now's, however, unfortunately it doesn't quote any actual case on the matter. Another reference is National Geographic's, however, the relevant sentence is stated in the past tense. — AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 10:12, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Hermeneutics of feminism in Islam[edit]

Hi,

I came across this promising Draft:Hermeneutics of feminism in Islam (relating to women's rights) and myself supported the same editorially too. IMO since topic potential is vast many Reliable sources on Google scholar seem to be available hence the article needs more editorial hands for some more update and expansion along with appropriate references.

Pl. do join to update and expansion, your help will be most welcome.

Thanks and regards

The verse[edit]

I don’t believe that a women’s testimony is half of a mans in Islam. It never states that. It says that two women are required to be there instead of a man but it never says that they both need to testimony. It says incase a the women needs reminding. In conclusion this wikipedia page is not true and someone should definently change it. Gewfy (talk) 01:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are some Muslim scholars who understand the verse as meaning half-testimony of women and others who interpret it as you do. This article points out both of these groups and makes no conclusion on the question of which side is correct. Which part exactly do you believe to be "not true"? — AhmadF.Cheema (talk) 07:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
