Even after marriage, a Muslim woman\u2019s name remains her own; she is not obligated or expected to adopt her husband\u2019s surname. If she owns property, it remains in her name and under her purview for as long as she chooses to own it. Additionally, Muslim women have the right to represent themselves in court, to testify before a judge,\u00a0and to pledge their allegiance on their own behalf.<\/p>\n<p>On a familial level, Islam establishes the right of a Muslim woman for her male relatives to financially provide for her. She maintains full rights over money she obtains elsewhere (e.g., from her dower or through work).\u00a0Islam also exalts the status of the mother and describes great reward for those who raise daughters with kindness.<\/p>\n<p>Islam explicitly establishes the equality of men and women in their humanity, the inviolability of their respective rights, their eligibility for salvation, and their existence as a sign of God\u2019s Mercy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islam establishes numerous rights for women.
