“The present book attempts to elucidate in one volume the rights and liabilities of women as a daughter, wife or mother, as a member of an Islamic society and as a citizen of Islamic State. She is as useful a that as her counterpart, man, and is his equal except that as the Holy Qur’an says: men are in charge of women. But it is a charge that enhances his liabilities towards her, make her immune from financial liabilities and thus magnifies her importance as a human being. Like a man she has an independent individuality and is economically, socially and politically identifiable as an entity different from her husband, father or son with right to own property, earn money, vote at elections , hold electoral or other public offices and protect her legal and constitutional rights or interests through Courts, and judicial, quasi-judical, or Administrative authorities. She is not subject to the rule of segregation imposed on her by social customs, and whenever necessary may appear in public with face unveiled and hands open. The only retraint upon her is that of covering her adornments and embellishments. She has as much right to acquire education as a man. In fact the acquisition of knowledge is as much her duty as that of man.”
