Women are essentially the possession of their men-folk. They are to honour and obey their husbands without questions even prostrating before them as Muhammad suggests.
SAD 11:2135 Muhammad said "If I were to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given to husbands by Allah."
The Qur'an states that the wife is analogous to the tilled earth of her husband, making her accessible for him to use whenever and however he desires. And if he can cope, he may marry up to four at the same time.
Qur'an 2:223 Your wives are as a tilth (tilled earth) unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will.
Qur'an 4:3 Marry of the women, who seem good to you, two, three or four
If four is not enough then concubines, females captured in battle are acceptable.
SB 59:524 From the captives of Hunayn, Allah's Messenger gave Ali a slave girl called Baytab and he gave Uthman a slave girl called Zaynab and Umar another.
If a husband wishes to accuse his wives of a misdeed or transgression, even though he has no witnesses, he has the power to declare four times that the accusation is true. The wife does have the option to declare four times that he is telling a lie. However a wife has no right to make an accusation against her hsband and give her testimony four times.
Qur'an 24:6 Those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, the evidence of one of these should be taken four times, bearing Allah to witness that he is most surely of the truthful ones.
Qur'an 24:8 But it would avert the punishment from the wife, if she bears witness four times (with an oath) By Allah, that (her husband) is telling a lie.
According to Muhammad most women are destined for Hell. His reasons are outlined in the following hadith:
SM 1:142 Muhammad said "O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell." A wise lady said: "Why is it, Allah's Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell?" The Prophet observed: "You curse too much and are ungrateful to your husbands. You lack commonsense, fail in religion and rob wisdom of the wise."
SB 62:124 Muhammad said "I stood at the gate of the Fire and saw that the majority of those who entered it were women."
For a woman to get into paradise she must please her husband. Her eternal existence in the afterlife is all dependant on the whims and fancies of her husband.
Al Tirmidhi & Ibn Majah - The Prophet said, If a woman dies while her husband was pleased with her, she will enter paradise.
If a woman is unwilling to please her husband when required, then she will be cursed all night by angels.
SB 7:121 Muhammad said "If a man invites his wife to sleep with him and she refuses to come to him, then the angels send their curses on her till morning."
In many strict Islamic societies, women are forbidden from entering mosques for prayers. In those where the regulation is relaxed, they are either provided with another room or are partitioned behind a screen. Muhammad said it was best for a woman to pray in her own room which in most likelyhood gave rise to this stipulation.
SAD 204:570 Muhammad said "Your (Aisha) prayer in your private room is better than your prayer in other rooms of your house, and your prayer in other rooms of your house is better than your prayer in the halls of your house, and your prayer in the halls of your house is better than your prayer in your community's mosque."
During the month of Ramadan when Muslims are expected to fast, a woman must first acquire permission from her husband. This ruling is to ensure that the wife is sufficiently able to see to his needs should she fast. If he determines that she cannot meet her marital obligations if fasting, then he has the right to prevent it. It should also be noted that Muhammad said women fail in religion because they cannot always fast in the holy month. Failing in religion opens up the gates of Hell for them.
SAD 13:2452 Muhammad said "A woman should not fast except with the permission of her husband."
A woman should also not leave her house without her husband's permission. A hadith retelling the story of a returning jihadi about to kill his wife because she stepped outside in fear of a snake is applicable.
SM 26:5557 - ...a man returned home and found his wife standing outside. He bent towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away and enter the house to see that which has made me come out.
The beating of women by their husbands or fathers is legal under sharia law. Both Allah and Muhammad recommended the beating of women.
Qur'an 4:34 Good women are obedient. As for women from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and beat them.
Al-Tabari Vol.9 - They (women) should not commit any open indecency. If they do, then God permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them.
SAD 11:2141 - Women have become emboldened toward their husbands, he (the Prophet) gave permission to beat them. Then many women complained against their husbands. So the Apostle said: "They (the women) are not the best among you."
SM 9:3506 - Allah's Messenger said: They are around me as you see, asking for extra money. Abu Bakr then got up went to 'A'isha and slapped her on the neck, and 'Umar stood up before Hafsa and slapped her.
Muhammad struck, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission. Aisha narrates,
SM 4:2127 "He struck me on the chest which caused me pain."
The beating of a wife is strictly the husband's business. Muhammad did state that it was of no concern of anyone else, the woman should not complain but remain with her husband.
SAD 11:2142 The Prophet said: 'A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.'
SB 72:715 A woman came to Muhammad and begged her to stop her husband from beating her. Her skin was badly bruised and described as being greener than the green garment she was wearing. Muhammad did not admonish her husband, but instead ordered her to return to him and submit to his desires.
If you marry a woman and find out she is pregnant she must be beaten after giving birth. The child will become the slave of the husband with no option for the mother ot biological father to gain custody.
SAD 11:2126 - A man from the Ansar said: I married a virgin woman in her veil. When I entered upon her, I found she was already pregnant. The Prophet said: She will get the dowry returned, for you made her vagina lawful to you. The child will be your slave. When she has begotten, flog her.
A woman cannot marry herself nor can a mother or any female approve the marriage for another female. A woman must have a wali (male guardian) for the marriage to be permissible. In the event that such a male relative is not available the Islamic ruler, sharia judge or imam will act as the guardian required to approve the marriage.
SAD 11:2078 The Apostle of Allah said: The marriage of a woman who marries without the consent of her wali (male guardians) is void. The sultan (man in authority) is the guardian of one who has none. If there is cohabitation, she gets her dower for the intercourse her husband has had.
Sunan Ibn Majah The Prophet said: A woman may not give another woman in marriage, nor may a woman give herself (independently) in marriage.
Two witnesses must also be present for the marriage to be valid. These must be Muslim and of course, male.
A woman's worth is half that of a man, her intelligence and religion is deficient, she is compared to a devil and she is unsuitable for leadership roles. Muhammad was never an advocate of equality between the sexes as is evident from the following:
Qur'an 4:34 Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the man to excel the woman.
Qur'an 2:28 And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree of advantage over them.
SB 6:301 Muhammad said "I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women). A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you."
Inheritance laws according to Allah provides twice as much to males as it does to females.
Qur'an 4:11 Allah directs you as regards Inheritance: to the male, a portion equal to that of two females. These are settled portions ordained by Allah.
