{{Quote|{{Muslim|1|142}}|O womenfolk, you should ask for forgiveness for I saw you in bulk amongst the dwellers of Hell. A wise lady said: Why is it, Allah’s Apostle, that women comprise the bulk of the inhabitants of Hell? The Prophet observed: ‘You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses. You lack common sense, fail in religion and rob the wisdom of the wise.’ Upon this the woman remarked: What is wrong with our common sense? The Prophet replied, ‘Your lack of common sense can be determined from the fact that the evidence of '''two women is equal to one man'''. That is a proof.}}

{{Quote|Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, ''Tafsir al-Kabir'', Commentary on Quran 4:11. <ref>See also goo.gl/HroMuR.</ref>|“(The males share is that of two females). Man is more perfect than the woman in creation, and intelligence, and in the religious sphere, such as the suitability to be a judge, and a leader in worship. Also, the testimony of the man is twice that of the woman. So that whoever is given great responsibilities must be given correspondingly great privileges. As the woman is deficient in intelligence and of great lust, if she is given much money, much corruption will be the result. The male is mentioned first in Q. 4:11 because the male is better than the female.}}

{{Quote|{{Bukhari|9|85|79}}|Narrated 'Aisha: I asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Apostle! Should the women be asked for their consent to their marriage?" He said, "Yes." I said, "A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet." He said, '''"Her silence means her consent."'''}}

{{Quote|Ascha, Ghassan. ''Du statut inférieur de la femme en Islam.'' p 491. Paris, 1989.|
*Better for a man to be splashed by a pig than for him to brush against the elbow of a woman not permitted to him.
*Better to bury an iron needle in the head of one of you than to touch a woman not permitted to him.
*He who touches the palm of a woman not legally his will have red-hot embers put in the palm of his hand on Judgment Day.
*Three things can interrupt prayers if they pass in front of someone praying: a black dog, a woman, and an ass.

A man from the Ansar called Basrah said: I married a virgin woman in her veil. When I entered upon her, I found her pregnant. (I mentioned this to the Prophet). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ''''She will get the dower, for you made her vagina lawful for you.'''' The child will be your slave. When she has begotten (a child), flog her (according to the version of al-Hasan). The version of Ibn AbusSari has: You people, flog her, or said: inflict hard punishment on him.}}
