The concept of "rape" is thus deemed to be equally non-existent in the contexts of both marriage and slavery.}} | {{PortalArticle|title=Islam and Women|image=Muslim-usa.jpg|summary=|description=Islamic law and doctrine holds women to be inferior to men in many respects, including in their intellect, their ability to serve as witnesses on topics other than female biology, ability to handle wealth, and ability to operate independently in society, among other things.

{{PortalArticle|image=Child marriage.jpg|description=Child marriage and sexual activity between adults and children are sanctioned by Islamic law and were practiced by Muhammad and his companions. The only restriction on sexual activity with children of any age within the contexts of marriage and slavery is that the child should not come to severe physical harm as a consequence of the encounter ("mental anguish", as such, is not considered, and consent is regardless irrelevant).|title=Child Marriage in Islamic Law|summary=}}{{PortalArticle|image=4-34-arabic.png|title= | {{PortalArticle|image=Child marriage.jpg|description=Child marriage and sexual activity between adults and children are sanctioned by Islamic law and were practiced by Muhammad and his companions.
