description: 1400 years ago, Muslim women were treated as second-class citizens within the religion of Islam. Here in the 21st century Muslim women continue to be treated as second-class citizens. In fact, within the religion of Islam men are and will always be superior to women. In Islam, women are considered the property of the men. The owner of the property has the right to decide its fate. Women can be exchanged, bought, and sold. Fathers arrange most marriages and a dowery is involved like a business transaction. In addition, women may not even seek a divorce even in an abusive relationship. In the Muslim nation of Jordan, if a woman is fearful for her life from a family member, she may commit herself into a local prison. However, she may not check herself out. Only a male relative may do this for her, and frequently, it is the male relative who posed the threat to her in the first place. In most Muslim countries, when a husband calls his wife to his bed to have sexual relations, she must obey without a word regardless of her condition. She may be physically sick or simply indignant and indisposed, but that does not change the circumstance at all. Women are not permitted to leave their homes. If they must go out, they must shroud themselves in loose garments, cover their hair, and not reveal any ornaments or make-up. In addition, the women are excluded from outdoor activities and segregated from all men except those closest to them such as their father, brother, and or husband.
