Where did the whole preferance thing come from? Which unbalance are you talking about? Women are entitled to an education just as much as a man is. The male is given "preferance" because of extreme poor conditions and because of the lack of knowledge about Islam. In rural areas they say "what is she going to do with an education" because working women hardly exist there. Men in Islam have a responsibility to earn AND spend on the family. Women do not have that responsibility. Whether they want to work or not is a choice. Whether she wants to spend her money on her family is also a choice. What are you talking about?

men are obligated. women are not.

in a family, 1 male child and 1 female is born.

education costs. for every family on the planet.

the male is obligated. so now….because he is EXPECTED to work… he gets the preference when it comes to education…

because better education typically equates to better employment chances which in turn, lead to better chances of raising a family.

when it came down to who should get the better education…. especially for a family who has a limited amount of money… the male got the priority… because when he grows up… he has to work for and support a family. the female is not expected.

now either this unbalance was intentionally created by Allah, or the islamic scholars who said that men are obligated, women are not, got this wrong. and we ended up with complaints (mostly from women) that women are not given as many chances as men.

If a woman wants to work, then great, but she shoudn't be forced. How many times have you heard me say ” a woman can work if she wants to, but she doesn’t have to”.

If what you say is true, there should be no women doctors in Muslim countries, nor any female nurses. Wake up, Mr. Yusha, whether you like it or not, the day is not far off when every woman will have to work , otherwise her family will starve. Already in Karachi, in many families both husband and wife have to work to stay alive.
