(2 )woman through history
There is nothing in any other religion, nation or law that can compare to the honour which woman gains in Islam. The Roman civilization decreed that woman was a slave who belonged to man, and had no rights at all. In Rome a major synod met to discuss the case of woman, and decided that she was a being who had no soul, and that therefore she would not inherit life in the Hereafter, and that she was evil.
In Athens women were regarded as chattels; they were bought and sold, and were regarded as evil, the handiwork of the devil.
The ancient laws of India state that disease, death, Hell, snake venom and fire were all better than woman. Her right to life came to an end when her husband's - or master's - life ended. When she saw his body burning she would throw herself into the flames; if she did not do so, she would be subject to curses.
woman in Judaism, the ruling on her in the Old Testament is as follows: "So I turned my mind to understand,to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains…" It is known that the Old Testament is venerated and believed by both Jews and Christians.

The Danish writer Wieth Kordsten explained the view of the Catholic Church towards women. He said: "During the Middle Ages very little care was given to women, following the teaching of the Catholic church which regarded woman as a second class creation."
In France, a council in 586 CE decided to research the case of woman and whether she was to be counted as human or not. After some discussion, they decided that woman was human, but she was created to serve man.
The 217th clause of the French law states the following: "A married woman - even if her marriage is based on the condition of separating what belongs to her and what belongs to her husband - is not permitted to give anything as a gift or to transfer any of her property or use it as collateral, or to take possession of anything whether in return for payment or otherwise, without her husband being a party to the contract or agreeing to it in writing."
In England, Henry VIII forbade the English woman to read the Bible. Until 1850 CE women were not counted as citizens, and until 1882 CE they did not have any personal rights.
Arabs before Islam : are the most worst , they buried their babies alive if she was a female . Allah said in the Quran : [ [8] When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned, [9] For what crime she was killed; ]
