Answer 1

This question has two different answers based on how the question is read. If the question is read as "What rights does a woman have in Islam?", then see Answer 1. If the question is read as "What rights do Muslim women usually have at law?", then see Answer 2.

Answer 1: What rights does a woman have in Islam?

The Muslim women have equal rights. The question has already been answered in detail.

Islam safeguards the rights of Women. They are equal partners with men in Islamic society. Women and men will be held responsible for her or his misdeeds before Almighty God. Each will be judged by the same scale. Each will be rewarded or punished for her/his good or bad deeds.

Unfortunately the question has been totally misunderstood, or willfully manipulated. The question is very simple and straightforward: It has not been asked which countries do what to women. In Islam, women have been given equal rights. They enjoy equal status in Islam. The restrictions which Islam imposes on women are also imposed on men folk. Both have been ordained by Almighty God to worship Him. Both have been ordered to remain chaste, honest, true and dignified. Both have been ordered to get education. If a woman or a man commits a crime, Islamic law takes same course against them. If a particular country does not give any of the rights to women folk, it is Un-Islamic. I don't think that Judaism or Christianity , permits, persuades, or encourages women to walk naked on the beach, dance in clubs, or live an unchaste life as is the custom in Europe, or America or in many other countries. For that we can't blame Judaism or Christianity.

Answer 2: What rights do Muslim women usually have at law

This depends far more on a particular country's laws and predominant views of the clergy in that country than any basic Islamic issue. It is said that women may have been part of the early elections in the Caliphate. Muslims in the United States, for example, are not forced to wear headcoverings, are encouraged to go to school and to have careers, are not forcibly married, are not forced to live in certain areas, and have an equal share in inheritance. The TLC show "Muslims in America" was cancelled since American Muslims are too boring (in terms of not being exotic or weird) to sustain a show.

However, in some countries like Pakistan, women have been increasingly unable to get an educationsee discussion. In Saudi Arabia, women cannot drive. In Lebanon, proof of elementary education is required for women to vote but not for men and voting is compulsory for men but optional for women. Muslim-majority countries have typically been behind Western States in the proliferation of women's rights, but this is more typical third world countries in Africa and Asia than just the Islamic ones.

Answer 2

muslim womens have a right to look after their husbands and take care about their children.

____________________________________________________

The answer above is absolutely wrong and reflects misconception of Islam teachings. It is true the woman has the prime responsibility of raising up children up to some age limit and then children raising up becomes common responsibility of both mother and father. However, women has all other rights and obligations as men. They have the rights to learn, to work, to do their own business, to inherit, to witness in courts, to choose their husbands, to seek divorce, .... etc. In many occasions they are even prioritized over men ecpecially when become mothers.

Answer 3

they are limited as compared to mens
_______________________________________________________
They have rights and obligations that are equal to men. However, men are required primarily to bear all the family expenses while women are required primarily to take care of children. They both have equal rights to learn, to work, to have own business, to inherit, and to select marital partner and/or seek divorce.
