Women and Islam in Pakistan
In: Middle Eastern studies, Band 26, Heft 4, S. 449-464
ISSN: 0026-3206
The author analyzes the question of women's rights in Pakistan in the light of the controversy between proponents of General Zia-ul Haq's martial law ordinances supporting the religious right wing and modernist Muslim scholars that do not accept the sole authority of the Ulama. He argues that the moral religious and social pronouncements of the Quran must be seen in a socio-historical context. After examining the question of purdah, Islamic views on family life and recent measures to islamize Pakistani laws he concludes that the question of wohmen's rights has deep cultural roots in the attitudes of Pakistani men towards women, nourished by economic factors, and is not just linked to political and religious exigencies. To overcome their present patriarchal-capitalist framework, modernist women theologians will have to lead women in their battle for equality. (DÜI-Kwe)

Women in Islam. Tradition and modernity
It should be stated at the beginning that the contemporary family in the Islamic World is basically patriarchal, characterized by the domination of the father — head of the family—followed by adult male members in accordance with their seniority. This very feature is strangely analogical to the early pre-Islamic tribal model of family and social hierarchy. Likewise, women perform now—as in the past dependent inferior roles. Women are, furthermore, isolated from the male society—also through the imposition of the ḥiǧāb (veil) and subjection to living (though, sometimes, and not as a rule) within polygamous family. To trace the source of this phenomenon, in an objective manner, we have to return to both the pre-Islamic tribal society and to early Islam. The political history of the time is assumed to be known and will not be the subject of interest of the present paper. ; Maciej Klimiuk
