MUSLIM WOMEN AND PROPERTY RIGHTS

Azhar Aslam and Shaista Kazmi

Economic Affairs, 2009, vol. 29, issue 2, 10-15

Abstract: This paper examines rights to property accorded to women in Islam under direct injunctions and compares it with the state of these rights in present Muslim societies. It argues that the correct application of law will not only materially improve the status of women in Muslim societies and guarantee them economic security, it will also bring economic prosperity to such societies directly.
