WOMAN UNDER NON-ISLAMIC CIVILIZATIONS

She becomes unlawful to other than him as long as helives, unless he releases her.

Furthermore, this religion of the Jews, allows a poor father to sellhis daughter like a slave, in order to relieve himself from misery.

In short.

this distorted religion degrades the status of women andlooks upon girls as saleable commodity.

If we take a look at the Arabian society during the period ofIgnorance before Islam, it also presents a sad picture of the bittertragedy from which woman suffered.

The Arabs used to regard woman as ashame, and hated her existence because they feared disgrace and theconsequences of her captivity.

An Arab would rather not have a femaleborn to him.

and if born, he would not see her face.

Hate and spiteoverwhelmed the souls of those cruel men to such an extent that someof them babies started walking and playing around.

As a result of this absurd and ignorant way of thinking, woman becamea commodity or a property in the ignorant Arabian society, to thelimit of allowing a son to marry his stepmothers.
