Medieval Islamic Women
Women in medieval Islam
The Koran tried to make rules that would help women, but while women had more rights under Islam in some ways, in other ways they were worse off than they had been before. Women were better off, because the Koran said that their husbands could not take away their dowry. The Koran also said that men could not beat their wives too badly.
