The Qur’an speaks of giving testimony in the context of five specific situations. In only one of these five cases does it make a distinction between witnesses on the basis of gender, namely in the case that relates to financial transactions, where two women may be required to testify in lieu of one man. The famous phrase about two women witnesses in that case, “so that if one of them forgets/errs the other can remind her”, is a reference not to the inferiority of women’s intellect but rather to the fact that women at the time did not engage in borrowing or lending and were moreover mostly illiterate, making them less effective witnesses should a dispute arise. Meanwhile another one of these five cases outlines when a woman’s testimony is worth  more  than a man’s, namely when a husband accuses his wife of infidelity—although we never hear anyone mentioning this extraordinary verse or highlighting the principle behind it.
