Women in Islam


I've listed this article to request peer review since in one of article talk page discussions it was claim that since Women in Islam article is available there is no need of separate article for Rights of women in Islam.

So I wish and request to review the article

1) Is Women is Islam article is giving through and proper coverage to Muslim women and related aspects if not what are the gap areas?

2) Is Women in Islam article covering Muslim women's rights comprehensively enough ? ( I see only two proper sections at the end but not comprehensive what is your opinion?)

3) According to you what is the scope for having separate comprehensive article for Rights of women in Islam?

Thanks and regards

 * Women in Islam should be considered a high priority article and I can give a review for it from the perspective of Good_article_criteria, although it will take a few days. In the meanwhile, to answer your questions:
 * 1. This is something that should become clear during the review. This article is already quite comprehensive, but some gaps might become apparent once I survey the literature.
 * 2. At first glance, it seems so. The article discusses women's rights when it comes to education, employment, financial and legal matters, marriage, dress code, political participation and emancipation (7 sections). Again, gaps might become clear as the review goes on.
 * 3. It seems there are already several articles on Islamic prescriptions on women: Islamic clothing, Islamic marital jurisprudence, Divorce in Islam, Polygyny in Islam, Islam and domestic violence, Status of women's testimony in Islam, Women as imams, Female labor force in the Muslim world (that article needs to talk about labor laws). There are other article which have a section on women's rights, like Islamic_inheritance_jurisprudence, Madrasa etc. Are there any other areas of women's rights that are not already covered by these articles?
 * One of the best things for a review would be to find scholarly sources that deal with the whole of the topic of "Women in Islam" (i.e. they give the topic comprehensive coverage as opposed to focus on one part of it). That would help in identifying areas on which the article doesn't focus enough, as well as areas on which it focuses too much. I can see a few such sources at [Women_in_Islam#Further_reading]], do you have any other suggestions? VR talk 13:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
