Women's rights

It is very sad that some people in our country do not know how to think outside the box. If women get equal rights in every aspect, everyone in our society benefits because these women are either our sisters or mothers. When my mother gets equal share in her parent's property, I benefit from that. My sisters and I are born of the same parents; sharing parental property with my sisters only makes me happy because it helps my nieces and nephews. I cannot imagine Allah the Merciful sending us to hell for sharing our properties with our own flesh and blood sisters. There are other issues these zealots need to worry about now.
