| Summary: | Sedigheh Vasmahghi is a professor at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Tehran, specialising in Islamic theology and jurisprudence. In the course of her studies she has come to the conclusion that some of the traditional arguments leading to the current majority view on the rights of women in Shi'ite Islam are based on faulty reasoning or on a misinterpretation of the original sources. Her arguments imply that mainstream Shi'ite Islam, and therefore the Iranian State, should review its position on the status of women in society, offering women a far better legal status than they have. |
