Document Summary
How was slavery able to persist despite the. Moral aspect but didn"t reprimand when violence was used. Islam condemns all forms of violence against women. The basic islamic premise of equality between women and men cannot be achieved so long as violence against women persists. In pre-islamic arabia violence against women began at birth in the form of female infanticide. Not only did the quran prohibit this practice, it also mocks those who view the birth of a girl child with contempt. Another common form of violence against women is that committed by husbands on their wives. Islam requires that husbands treat their wives with respect and it prohibits any form of physical or emotional abuse. The quran requires that spouses treat each other with love and mercy. Moreover, the quran repeatedly warns against the use of injurious statements by a husband against his wife.
