The War on Women
By LaShawn R. Jefferson (*)
After the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. government threw its full energies into
combating terrorism emerging from militants in the Islamic world. But it has
done little to expose and condemn the ways some states are using radical
interpretations of Islamic law, or Shariah, to subordinate and exclude
women. The U.S. should be equally concerned about the consequences of these
interpretations on Muslims as well as non-Muslims.

Sharia Stoning Sentence for Nigerian Woman
Press Release, August 20, 2002
Just this week, an appellate Shariah court in northern Nigeria upheld
a "death by stoning" sentence against a woman for having sex outside
marriage. The case of Amina Lawal, the 30-year-old Nigerian woman sentenced
to death, should raise grave concerns about how Islamic law is used in
Nigeria and in other countries to brutalize and subordinate women. No
country that values human dignity and the equality of all its citizens can
afford to have a legal system in place that endorses discrimination,
torture, and cruel and inhuman punishment. Immediate reform of the aspects
of Shariah that deny women equality under law and in practice is needed.
Combined with local traditions, the effect of such verdicts is to make women
afraid. A public sentencing sends a message to all women: that if they step
outside the strictures of Shariah, they, too, can expect a painful and
ignominious death. If she loses her final appeal, Ms. Lawal can expect to be
buried up to her chest and stoned to death, leaving behind three motherless
children. But countless other women in Nigeria will fear for their own lives
as a result.
In Saudi Arabia in March, at least 14 girls may have died unnecessarily in a
school fire because of extreme interpretations of the Islamic dress code.
Members of the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of
Vice interfered with rescue efforts because the fleeing students were not
wearing the obligatory public attire (long black cloaks and head coverings)
for Saudi girls and women. Also in Saudi Arabia, women's testimonies in
court are equal to half those of a man.
A woman in Pakistan who has been raped and wants the state to prosecute her
case must have four Muslim men testify that they witnessed the assault.
Absent these male witnesses, effectively the rape victim has no case.
Equally alarming, if she cannot prove the rape allegation, she runs a very
high risk of being charged with fornication or adultery, the criminal
penalty for which is either a long prison sentence, including public
whipping, or, though rarely, death by stoning.
The application of Shariah is not limited to criminal matters, but in some
countries some aspects of Shariah also govern civil matters.
Morocco's "personal status code" (the Mudawwana) is one example. Under it,
women are treated as legal minors and denied legal autonomy to conclude
their own marriage contracts. This code establishes male authority over
female family members, requires women to obey their husbands in all matters,
and sharply limits women's
