Do men have the RIGHT TO KILL A WOMAN THEY DECIDE ARE "DISHONORABLE" (as in ISLAM)?
410659
Glad to answer you,\nI am a Muslim girl, i have many friends from boys as i have from girls. \n\nI would like to ensure that There is no mention of Honor killing in the Qur'an or Hadiths. Honor killing, in Islamic definitions, refers specifically to extra-legal punishment by the family against the woman, and is forbidden by the Sharia (Islamic law). \nReligious authorities disagree with extra punishments such as honor killing and prohibit it, so the practice of it is a cultural issue. \nBut SOME Muslim men use Islam to justify honor killing even though there is no support for honor killing in Islam.\n Please Check the following site to know more about it:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing#In_countries_with_Islamic_law\n\n I hope you understood the difference between the Islam and SOME of the Muslims actions.

if "women rights" in your opinion is when a woman gets money for showing her body as a tool for advertisment and being so cheap ... then no, we muslims have no women rights\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUNLESS you mean women right to go work in a safe working condition and having the right to vote then yes we have women rights since 1400 yrs ago up to this minute.\n\n\n\nabout the retards husbands that treats their wives badly we can find those retards in any religon and not only Islam.\n\n\n\n\n\nProphet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: "Treat women well and be kind to them; they are your partners and committed helpers\n\n\n\n\nProphet Muhammad(PBUH) said: "Only an honorable man treat women with honor and integrity. And only a mean, deceitful and dishonest man humiliates and insults women." Referring to physical abuse, he added: "Never hit your wives, they are your partners and sincere helpers." He exemplified this by never, ever, hitting a women or child. The Prophet guaranteed protection of the life, honor, and property of women.

I would not have a problem with that.  What the prophet taught and what Islam is today is a different as night and day.  The prophet was the first leader to advocate woman's right, go so far as to allow them to inherit property from their deceased husbands, however, in today's Muslim world a woman is treated as property with very little in the way of right, either spiritually or legally.\n\nThis is just one example, there are many others if you care to look.

the husband could have defended himself, no man or muslim has the right to beat up girls, \np.s. a Christian woman would't have tried to kill her husband and if she did you wouldn't have had to beat her  up , you jerk, taking her to the police would have been suffecient

Yes,\nhow can one have the right to live if he/she ended an innocent person's life.\nI can never forgive inhumanity

This is the Sura i.e. chapter called Nisa meaning women. In this sura rights and duty of women is described in brief. I know after reading this sura you many have question,\n\nWhy does Islam degrade women by keeping them behind the veil?\n\nThe status of women in Islam is often the target of attacks in the secular media. The ‘hijaab’ or the Islamic dress is cited by many as an example of the ‘subjugation’ of women under Islamic law. Before we analyze the reasoning behind the religiously mandated ‘hijaab’, let us first study the status of women in societies before the advent of Islam\n\n\n1.   In the past women were degraded and used as objects of lust\n\n\nThe following examples from history amply illustrate the fact that the status of women in earlier civilizations was very low to the extent that they were denied basic human dignity:\n\n\n\n\nBabylonian Civilization:\nThe women were degraded and were denied all rights under the Babylonian law. If a man murdered a woman, instead of him being punished, his wife was put to death.\n\nGreek Civilization: \nGreek Civilization is considered the most glorious of all ancient civilizations. Under this very ‘glorious’ system, women were deprived of all rights and were looked down upon. In Greek mythology, an ‘imaginary woman’ called ‘Pandora’ is the root cause of misfortune of human beings. The Greeks considered women to be subhuman and inferior to men. Though chastity of women was precious, and women were held in high esteem, the Greeks were later overwhelmed by ego and sexual perversions. Prostitution became a regular practice amongst all classes of Greek society.\n\nRoman Civilization:\nWhen Roman Civilization was at the zenith of its ‘glory’, a man even had the right to take the life of his wife. Prostitution and nudity were common amongst the Romans.\n\nEgyptian Civilization:\nThe Egyptian considered women evil and as a sign of a devil.\n\nPre-Islamic Arabia:\nBefore Islam spread in Arabia, the Arabs looked down upon women and very often when a female child was born, she was buried alive.\n\n\n2.   Islam uplifted women and gave them equality and expects them to maintain their status.\n\n\nIslam uplifted the status of women and granted them their just rights 1400 years ago. Islam expects women to maintain their status.\n\n\nHijaab for men\n\nPeople usually only discuss ‘hijaab’ in the context of women. However, in the Glorious Qur’an, Allah (swt) first mentions ‘hijaab’ for men before ‘hijaab’ for the women. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Noor:\n\n"Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do."\n[Al-Qur’an 24:30]\n\nThe moment a man looks at a woman and if any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze.\n\nHijaab for women.\n\nThe next verse of Surah Noor, says:\n\n" And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons..."\n[Al-Qur’an 24:31]\n\n\n3.   Six criteria for Hijaab.\n\n\nAccording to Qur’an and Sunnah there are basically six criteria for observing hijaab:\n\nExtent:\n\nThe first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands upto the wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and the hands are part of the obligatory extent of ‘hijaab

Depends who is giving/assessing the justification.  Many people of both genders consider that their offending behaviour is to some extent justified ("I had to do it", "I didn't have any choice", "there was no other way", "you'd have done the same thing", etc, are commonly expressed views).\n\nOffences which might be viewed by a court as in some measure justified are those involving self-defence.  There are cases of women who kill a violent partner after years of physical, psychological and sexual abuse receiving more lenient sentences than murder would otherwise warrant because the extreme provocation and the need for her to protect herself and/or her children is such a potent mitigating factor.

Islam does not permit men to beat their women, in fact it is forbidden to beat your wife. The prophet commanded fellow human beings to be kind to your wife for they are your helpers and committed partners. People who beat their wife usually come from cultures where it is allowed. Under Islamic law these people would be persecuted. But because of the backwardness of the cultures they keep getting away with this kind of intolerable behaviour. Know that Allah and his messenger, mohammed,  would never tolerate such behaviour.

no.\nMat 7:12  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:

that's not true, i am a Muslim, and proud, Islam never tells the husband to beat up the wife, in fact, Prophet Mohammad (peace and prayers be upon him) treated his wives VERY respectfully and nicely, he (peace and prayers be upon him) was the kindest and most well-behaved person ever lived. he (papbuh) truely was, and that's how Muslims should be.

Of course they do, that's why they happily strap on sticks of dynomite and blow themselves up. As for the women, Islam doesn't think much of them if a guy gets 70+ maidens.

no man should be allowed to beat mothers,daughters,sisters ,grandmothers,or whatever I don't care what religion says this!!

you don't. Why should you support the free killing of someone, eventhough they killed someone. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It is the obligation of all things in this universe to balance itself, there is no choice in the matter.  If you were to rape and or kill my daughter, you wouldn't have to wait for the government to come and bring balance, I would do it myself.  I'm not advocating vigilante justice, but if all the father's in this country would do what I would do, I bet the rape, molestation and murder of our children would end.\nBible says, thou shall not Murder - killing someone is different, there are lots of good reasons to kill someone (once again I'm not saying we should all go out and kill)

No, it's fair to kill someone who is attempting to kill you. Once the danger passes, it becomes revenge, and revenge is not legally recognized as a justification for a homicide. You'll get more satisfaction out of the life you have left if you press charges for the assault and the theft, and keep a liberal distance from her in the future.

i dont really know, but what i do know is that in Pakistan islamic laws at the moment say that if a woman is raped they have to have 4 male witnesses or they are tried for adultry, and they are only considering changing the law now!
