"And when the female baby buried (alive) is asked, for what sin she was killed,..." (Holy Qur’an, 81:8-9) It also ended the age in which woman was prevented from marriage unless she paid a ransom to redeem herself or to be unjustly inherited after her death. "O you who believe! it is not lawful for you that you should take women as heritage against (their will), and do not straiten them in order that you may take part of what you have given them, ..." (Holy Qur’an, 4:19).
It also removed their abasement and mistreatment by men. Thus the Holy Qur'an placed more emphasis on dealing with them kindly: "...and treat them kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike a thing while Allah has placed abundant good in it." (Holy Qur’an, 4:19).
In the past, poverty led some people to kill their children, the female particularly enduring such burdens, so the Holy Qur'an removed this (away from her): "...and do not slay your children for (fear of) poverty; We provide for you and for them;..." (Holy Qur’an, 6:151). Islam declares that the foundation of honouring does not depend upon manhood but on righteous deeds and faith (in Allah).
Whoever does an act achieves its results whether it be a man or a woman: "Surely the men who submit and the women who submit, and the believing men and the believing women, and the obeying men and the obeying women, and the truthful men and the truthful women, and the patient men and the patient women, and the humble men and the humble women, and the almsgiving men and the almsgiving women, and the fasting men and the fasting women, and the men who guard their private parts and the women who guard, and the men who remember Allah much and the women who remember, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a mighty reward." (Holy Qur’an, 33:35).
Islam also insists that the believers are guardians of each other. They spread goodness among themselves and bid to what is right and forbid what is wrong and evil. "And (as for) the believing men and the believing women, they are guardians of each other. they enjoin good and forbid evil and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate (zakat) and obey Allah and His Messenger; (as for) these, Allah will show mercy to them;…"(Holy Qur’an, 9:71).
Islam is firm in clarifying the nature of the relation between man and woman in the framework of marriage. "...they are an apparel for you and you are an apparel for them..."(Holy Qur’an, 2:187).
