salam u alaikum wa rahmatu Allah


i had a question about this verse of Quran. it says that two men have to be witneses if u dnt find two, u will have to replace two women by a man. why is it like that two women r equal to one man? is it just cos of that women r generaly more emotional than men? or there r more reaons?
pls specify...


its mentioned in this verse:

"And get two witnesses out of your own men. And if there are not two men
(available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so
that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her." (V.2:282)

Giving evidence in court can be a daunting experience, especially as the
judicial system will consist mainly of men, so the women can give each other
moral support as well as reminders. It is a serious and burdensome
responsibility, which has been lightened for women.
There are four situations in which evidence is required:

a. Crimes related to penal ordinances and retaliation. If men and women are
both available, the men will be called to give witness and the women will not
be summoned.

b. In economic affairs related to wealth and property, which are usually the
domains of men, the evidence of two men is accepted. If two men are not
available, then one man and two women will be accepted.

c. In affairs concerning women only such as pregnancy, birth, sexual defects,
the evidence of one woman alone is accepted.

d. In criminal cases where only women are the witnesses, the four Imams
(religious leaders) are unanimous in not accepting the evidence of women.
They reason that in cases such as murder and rape, the women will be
emotional and may get confused. Such evidence becomes suspicious, and a
principle of Shar'iah (Islamic law) is that any suspicion about the evidence
makes the evidence null and void. In this context the Zahiri school of thought
is more credible.


It states that if women alone are the witness in a criminal case, their evidence
will be accepted according to the principle of two women's evidence being
equivalent to that of one man. So in cases of adultery, the evidence of four men
or eight women will be accepted. They argue that to reject women's evidence
entirely in such cases will allow much crime to go unpunished.

It is an established scientific fact that women cannot explain the intimate
details of events with the accuracy which men are capable of. This fact has
been confirmed by much research, such as Dr. Harding's. in his book 'The Way
of All Women.' According to one Hadith, the Prophet described women as
being incomplete in reason and religious practice because they are exempted
from the five daily prayers and fasting during their monthly menstruation.
Their incompleteness in reason is taken into account in the field of legal
evidence. Giving evidence in court is a serious responsibility from which a
woman is relieved, just as she is relieved from attending the Mosque for the
five daily prayers and the Friday prayer.

Worth of Women in Islam:

The Prophet's narrations speak of women with praise and respect. He ! once
said:
"The world and all things in it are precious, and the most precious thing
in the world is a virtuous woman." (Ahmad and Muslim)
He ! also said:
"Shall I not inform you about the best treasure a man can have? It is a
virtuous woman who pleases him when he looks at her, who obeys him
when he commands her, and who guards herself when he is absent from
her."
The Prophet ! said:
"Made beloved to me from your world are women and perfume, and the
coolness of my eyes is in prayer." (Ahmad and An-Nasa 'i)
The Honour of Mother in Islam:
In a famous incident, a man came to the Prophet ! and asked:
"O Messenger of Allah, who is the person who has the greatest right on me
with regards to kindness and attention?" He replied: "Your mother." "Then
Who?" He replied: "Your mother." "Then who?" He replied: Your mother."
"Then who?" He replied: "Your father." (Ahmad and Abu Dawud)
The Qur'an also discusses the immense honor and respect due to both parents,
and especially to mother:
"And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents.
His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and
hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and to your
parents, unto Me is the final destination." (V. 31:14)



The Reward of upbringing Girls:

In the days when it was a custom to cherish the birth of male children and to
bury the female children alive because of shame and poverty, the Prophet !
has said:
"Whoever looks after two girls till they reach maturity, he and I will enter
Paradise together like these two (fingers).” (Muslim and A t- Tirm idh 1)
