From a frustrated Muslim lady

I am a Muslim woman. I get half of any inheritance that my brother gets.

I am a Muslim woman. My testimony is only worth half that of a man.

I am a Muslim woman. During prayers, I cannot pray in the same row as my sons but must always be behind them.

I am a Muslim woman. Before I go out of my house, I must first get my husband’s permission to leave the house.

I am a Muslim woman. As a wife, my husband is entitled to marry 3 other woman, but I can only be married to one, at a time.

I am a Muslim woman. As a wife, I am ordered to obey the husband.

I am a Muslim woman. As a wife I am only entitled to 1/8 of my husbands estate (thats if he only has one wife, otherwise I am only entitled to 1/32 of his estate if he has 4 wives.) But my husband is entitled to half of whatever I own upon my death, if I have no children, and 1/4 if I have children.

I am a Muslim woman. While the men can wear anything they want, I am required to cover my whole body save for my face and hands. Frankly it would make more sense to blindfold the men and save cloth.

I am a Muslim woman. I cannot divorce my husband unless he agrees. Unless I redeem myself through Khul'. Unless I fight for my right to freedom in the courts. Which takes time. My husband just has to say the word.

I am a Muslim woman. My ex husband doesnt bother to pay for my childrens maintenance. It is not an offence. But if I fail to obey my husband to have sex with him, I am nusyuz. And the angels will not visit me for I am cursed for the night

I am a Muslim woman. I cannot marry a Jew or a Christian. A Muslim man can.

Isn't this caste system? Islam never wants to be treated the same way they treat others.
