In our society, status of women always remains in highlight. Women are backbone of family. They are considered the most important part of everyone’s life as from giving birth to raising a child.

Earlier, long years back, women were not treated right. They were always considered as inferior to men. Men are supposed to uphold the responsibility of earning due to which they were treated with utmost respect whereas women stayed home, to perform house chores and take care of children and old parents. There were many instances from the previous society where women were burned alive with their husband’s funeral commonly known as Sati Pratha. But in Islam, women are given higher status as they are being protected from the uncertain circumstances of the society. It is considered that women are softer than men and they need proper care, respect and love.

Earlier, they were dependent on men for their basic need. They were also not treated equally.

In today’s world, the status of women is developing day by day. Now, women are independent and are working to sustain themselves and their family. Furthermore, men and women are treated equally and they both are participating equally for the maintenance of their children and home. Most of the women are in a higher position than men in many professions. Overall, in today’s contemporary world the role of a woman has been changed completely.
