Abstract

Form the day first after landing down of Adam and Eve on the earth; the human life depended upon the two basic pillars; man and woman, but later on, the concepts of people regarding woman remained different. This differentiation was because of depending of each individual on his own mentality, and his own point of view about the woman due to her attitude and acts she performed.

Whenever the teachings of a messenger regarding the humanity and especially woman were bypassed by anybody, some unsatisfactory circumstances occurred. All these probably miss-happened because of constituting the different contradictive point of view by thinkers about life and especially about woman, which was in contrast to the teaching/instruction of Almighty Allah, resultantly it caused strange decisions based on cruelty and injustice to women.

It analyses their theories about the said right of a woman in comparative style with a conclusion given at the end. All this study has been offered in a scholarly way.
