حق المرأة في الميراث : دراسة نقدية لاتفاقية سيداو في ضوء القرآن الكريم : طلبة الدراسات العليا بجامعة قطر نموذج

Abstract EN

The study aims to analyze and criticize the provisions of CEDAW, which call for full equality between men and women in inheritance, and that Islam oppresses women and discriminates men in this aspect.

From a theoretical perspective, the study addresses a number of issues including defining and clarifying the inheritance of women before Islam.

The study also sheds light on the cases of women’s inheritance in Islam, those in which the woman inherits more than the man, or even those where the woman prevents the man to inherit at all.

The study also explains why the man could inherit double of the woman’s share in some cases, presenting the rational evidences to respond to the claim of inequality in Islam between men and women in inheritance and comparing the system of inheritance in Islam with the ancient and modern laws on the inheritance of women.

The study has come up with a number of results, the most important of which is that the system of inheritance in Islam is not based on the undervalue of the women’s rights or the preference of men to women, but rather on rules and principles, which intend to achieve full justice between both genders.

Furthermore, the cases where the male inherits as much as two females cannot be taken for granted because there are many other cases where the inheritance of females and males is equal.

There are even cases where females inherit more than males; sometimes females inherit the double of what males inherit, and more importantly, in some cases females inherit while the males do not.
