Men causes subordination of women/Women oppressed over the history +photos

SHAFAQNA- The first round of the chain-jurisprudence conferences titled “Women Legal Challenges in Jurisprudence” held at Imam Khomeini research academy this morning by Feqhus-sa-Qalain institute associated with great Ayatullah  Sane`ai.

It was attended by university and religious Madrasa (Howzeh) lecturers and women affairs activists.

Saying women being subordinated by men over the history, Hojjat-ul-Islam-wal-Muslemin Ali Akbar Beigi, the director of the Feqhus-sa-Qalain institute asked if we had thought about ourselves and what our reactions would be like if such behavior is imposed on us by a third sex?

Speaking at the first conference of the chain-jurisprudence conferences, he said women have been oppressed over the history.

Making speech at the opening ceremony of the conference, he drew attentions to the oppressions being imposed on women over the history and emphasized although women equal men in different periods of human life, they have been seen as a sub-element and lower rank creatures by men.        

“Women form half of the human`s Hayat-i-tayyibah, they are our fellowmen of the same soul” said Hojjat-ul-Islam-wal-Muslemin Beigi.

He emphasized a surface attention to women challenges causes such a bad sorrow and pain in the fair ontologists that they lose their spiritual balance.  

“Have you ever thought that if women have been deprived of their rights of education, work, civilization and being the source of services, that is because of the men`s dominance over the lives of women, something has kept women`s abilities and potentials hidden.” Hojjat-ul-Islam Beigi added

He said men has been the big obstacle to women not being improved, but they still accuse women of lack of logic, faith and views.

“Have you ever thought there is no creature but men who with their misbehaving have had negative roles in women`s affairs” he said

Hojjat-ul-Islam Beigi emphasizes if our judgments and behaviors are assessed by logic, the performances originated from sub-element views to women will be given no credits. Also, Islamic principles and Islam religion are cleaned of such ignorant concepts.

“Definitely, Islam as the symbol of justice believes in equal use of natural rights for humans and rejects such negative challenges” he said.   

“Our future horizon is the thing has brought us here, in the circle of you Ulama and lectures and researchers. This horizon, if felt and understood perfectly and timely, will cause well management and organizing of pros and cons of the challenges, otherwise, any ignorance toward these challenges, will create gradual death ‌and early aging for unaware society” Hojjat-ul-Islam Beigi concluded.

Ulama`s Fatwa on women need to be socially-updated-based/ some gender discriminations rejected in Islam

Ashraf Brujerdi, the head of Iran National Library and Archives office and women rights activist, was another speech makers of the “Women`s Legal Challenges in Jurisprudence” conference.  

She said “Fathers-and-grandfathers custodianship of children as a religious and legal views dates back to one thousand years ago, not applicable to current society and needs to be modified. So, Ulama should base their Fatwas on an updated social contexts after they have revised the Jurisprudence.”  

Mrs. Brujerdi declared since we are seeking being symbol in the World and having our problems solved by jurisprudence, we all now need to cut the jurisprudence open to meet not only the women`s needs but also the current people in the field of laws. Once, the society finds the jurisprudence incapable of answering their questions, they may reject the juridical system.

“Ulama should make jurisprudence practicable in society” she suggested

Mrs. Brujerdi tasked the current jurisprudence with paving the way for practicing religion in society and offering methods for those wanting to maintain their faith.

Regarding children inheriting parentage from fathers and fathers-and-grandfathers custodian, she asked if the custodian was given to mothers when fathers and grandfathers have died? She answered it was rare for judges to issue such judgments. Doing so, women`s peace of mind hurts, children miss their identity and the society suffers from negative social consequences.

Referring to mothers allowed to open a bank account for their children but cannot withdraw money from it, Mrs. Brujerdi said: “Fathers-and-grandfathers custodianship of children as a religious and legal views dates back to one thousand years ago, not applicable to current society and needs to be modified. So, Ulama should base their Fatwas on an updated social contexts after they have revised the Jurisprudence”

She emphasized when women are bread winners of families and manage families, they can be given the right of children`s custodian only if the religion principles are obeyed.

“That Moses`s mother was inspired by God and Holy Mary was given the task giving name to Jesus, all signal how high mothers’ positions are near God” Mrs. Brujerdi said

She asked when mothers are highly respected, why they are deprived of rights like giving names to children and ignored when it comes to practical aspects? We heritage parentage from fathers while being proud of Ahl-u-Bait parentage origin refers to Hazrat-e Zahra (SA). At the time of “hadith kassa” recitation, when‌   Gabriel asks who are they? He was answered:” Fatemeh and her father”, here Fatemeh is the axis.

“Some discriminations contradict Quranic verses and hadiths, some public culture derived from jurisprudence deviations and these discriminations are not given proper answers when someone is due to join Islam. That some doubts are made in international societies, that’s because of misunderstanding of jurisprudence at that time. Islam opposes oppressors and denying of rights” she said  

Mrs. Brujerdi added mothers’ role is based on love and mothers are not betrayers. Issuing instructions are not going to get us anywhere, we get involved in abstract instructions while the new generation are taking their own ways. Instructions should lead to a situation where women understand they can have their needs met through religion views.

Women security bill needs to be sent to government as quickly as possible  

Masumeh Ebtekar, the vice president in women and families affairs, making speech at the conference called for “women security bill” to be sent to the government as quickly as possible.

Addressing the ministry of justice, she declared at the early days of president Rowhani`s administration, she was asked by the supreme leader of the Islamic revolution to try to have some anti-violence laws made regarding women.

She called the Madras (Howzeh) jurisprudent for cleaning Islam face of some discrimination accusations by proper dealing with women affairs.

Thanking Ayatollah Sane`ai for holding such jurisprudence conferences, the vice president praised the Ayatullah`s advanced views toward women, somethings that bring hopes about moving forward to a bright future.

Focusing on Imam Khomeini`s views toward women to be translated into practice in the fields of making laws and policies, Mrs. Ebtekar described Imam Khomeini`s views on women as modern and improved.

She said if jurisprudent issues are not paid enough attentions as it was in the past, the wrong minds of young girls about jurisprudent will continue and the gaps between our youths and jurisprudence gets wider. Those seeing such discriminated behaviors simply accuse the Islamic republic of Iran and Islam of confirming such performances. Wrong performances have led to such tough situations. So, views related to jurisprudent, available laws and performances need to be modified.
