Uguali e diverse: donne islamiche e diritto di famiglia

A close look at the treatment of women in family law in Islamic countries clearly shows the objective position of subordination to men that they have to endure. This inequality of rights emerges even further by examining the different roles of women: as an individual, as a daughter, as a mother. After a deep analysis which begins with the study of the religious laws which govern the subject, it soon appears evident that this result often stems from interpretations influenced by culture and tradition, more than by religious precepts. Through these processes women, ontologically the same as man in the eyes of God, have been made different.
