Marriage & The Social Status of Women in Islam, by Tahar gaid

The historian and psychosociologist Gustave le Bon said that it was from the Muslims "that the inhabitants of Europe borrowed, with the laws of chivalry, the gallant respect for women that these laws imposed... Islam has raised the condition of women and we can add that this is the first religion to have raised it...". Islam makes women the partners of men. It offers both, a beautiful harmony between equality and difference, solidarity and complementarity, and Marriage is one of the best symbols of this harmony.

In this book the author reviews the rules of marriage and the social status of women in Islam. It delves deeper into certain issues often treated superficially in the media (mixed diversity, hijab, submission, emancipation, public activity and political engagement of women, etc.).
