Women's Intelligence and the Islamic Tradition: Difference between revisions

The [[Islam|Islamic]] tradition from the [[Hadith]] and later material agrees on the general supposition that women are inferior in intelligence vis-a-vis men. That all [[Islam and Women|women]] are [[Creation|created]] less intelligent than their male counterparts is used as an explanation for several Islamic doctrines and rules of jurisprudence, including the belief that women make up the majority of the denizens of [[Jahannam (Hell)|Hell]] and the lower value of a woman's testimony against a man's in Islamic [[Shari'ah]] courts.
