Islam as a religion treats females as inferiors to males.

Note for the opponent: I wish to stipulate some rules for this debate. I hope you find these rules reasonable:Please avoid Ad HominemPlease, if needed, use proper sources, and try to avoid skewed or biased data.Please maintain a formal tone throughout the majority of the debate.Please, if possible, maintain a set form for the debate; the first round being for the starting arguments, the second for refutes for said arguments, the third for another set of arguments, the fourth for more refutes, and the fifth for a final few arguments to end the debate. I find it much simpler and classier than a randomly made and unorganised effort.Please, and I mean please, don't take this personally. I am not attacking any belief, just stating an opinion. Now that the rules are set, let us begin.1-For a woman to get married, she requires her father's consent. The mother has no say.2-Polygamy. A complicated bit.Polygamy is the wrong term though, the correct term is Polygyny, as women are not allowed to have multiple spouses. The main reason why, lineage, bears no weight in today's world as DNA tests are rather easy to get.The Prophet (I bear no ill thoughts about him, he was a product of his time) preached a maximum of four wives in a time where there was no limit ( https://quran.com... ), but going from -10 to -5 is still negative.He did break the rule by marrying 9 women at once, and the ever so controversial marriage of a six year old, consummating (having intercourse) it when she was 9. according to sources ( http://www.madsci.org... ) the female body would be ready for sex 1.5 to 6 years after puberty begins ( Menstruation means the Uterus is prepared for conceiving, not the body). The hadith showing her age is ( https://sunnah.com... )( https://www.census.gov... until age 50, there are more men than women, thus the "More women than men" argument doesn't hold up)3-A woman's Testimony.( https://quran.com... ) In cases that require a testimony, men are the priority, and only if two men aren't available, then two women and one man are required. Four women won't count, a man is needed.(https://muflihun.com... )4-Sex in marriage.( https://muflihun.com... https://muflihun.com... )A woman does not have the right to refuse sex to her husband. Her consent does not factor into the variables of sex (Only Menstruation and illness matter)Another point worth mentioning is how a woman is impure during her menstruation, a completely natural process involving bleeding.A man is only impure when he releases sexual fluids. I assume that a woman's sexual fluids carry the same ruling.As far as I know, if a man bleeds, he is not considered impure.( https://quran.com... )Men are entitled to beat their wives in case of disobedience. As far as I know, men do not need to obey their wives, nor can wives beat husbands.5-Divorce.“Talaaq(divorce) is the right of the one who seizes the leg (i.e., consummates the marriage)” i.e., the husband. (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2081; classed as hasan by al-Albaani inIrwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2041).I can't understand why this would be. It does not make sense."If a women asks her husband for a divorce, for no reason, then the smell of paradise is forbidden for her". (At-Tirmidhi narrated it. He said this is a hasan hadith. Sunnah At-Tirmidhi #1187.)I apologize for not finding links for the above Hadith, but I will link the page I found them in:( https://islamqa.info... )A man only needs to say Talaq (Divorce) three times to divorce his wife.A woman is also required to be subservient to her husband, and obedient and she needs his permission to leave the house.6-Ruling.( https://sunnah.com... ) Simply said, a woman can't lead a nation, even if she was more than capable, simply because she is a woman.7-( https://muflihun.com... )Simply put, the rape of captive females.Many have said that it was not rape, but common sense says otherwise.Imagine you are a woman, and your city was attacked by outsiders. All the males; your family, were killed, and you were taken captive. would you consent to sex with those men?The Hadith talks about the men wanting to do Coitus Interuptus, but the Prophet said not to do so.So not only are you raped, but impregnated. rather nasty if you ask me.Though that seems because the women are technically slaves, and slaves cannot be raped as they have no agency, something eerily similar to the concept of sex slaves.8-( https://quran.com... )A man can marry a Jew or Christian, but a woman can only marry another Christian. Gender based discrimination once more. There is no reason why this exists, as the oftenly cited explanation is that the women can be turned against their religion, and the children would by default take the father's religion.This makes no sense, as a man can be turned just like a woman, and the children can just as easily take the mother's religion in both cases. No reason to base lineage on the father as, genetically, children are half of each parent.( The son would be more like his mother, as the X chromosome he takes from her has nearly a thousand genome, while the Y supplies by the father has around 80 only)Other points worth mentioning:( https://muflihun.com... )A woman was beaten by her husband until her skin went green, and seemingly lied to get a divorce (understandable for a victim of abuse). The prophet told her to return to her husband.( https://quran.com... ) Woman must remain inside the house.Along with that, I remember reading verses that state that men have authority over their wives by default, and a woman can not lead the household, even if she was more capable than the husband.( https://muflihun.com... )Women are less intelligent than men, a fact known to be false as it is culture that causes the mental differences between genders, not the genders themselves.Humans are born with an underformed brain, and the enviroment of growth dictates the brain structures which cause males to be on average to be more intelligent than females.Correlation does not mean Causation.An analogy I found to explain this is:Who is more intelligent? A European or African person?The European, as the enviroment he grew up in is more likely to be less harsh, thus helping him grow a healthy mind.Gender roles placed on children cause them to grown differently ( I.E. girls to be girly), causing the differences in Grey and White matter in the average Male and Female brain.It is culture and childhood enviroment that decide the mental prowess of an individual, not genetics ( unless genetic deficiencies count, as they are an exception)This Hadith also furthers the bit on the Testimony and the Impurity during Menstruation.These are my points, I hope we can both enjoy this debate with no ill feelings between each other.
