Islam has given honour and rights to women. Before the advent of Islam, women were a suppressed section of the society. Islam evaluated the status of women which anyone can expect in today’s modern society. Islam provides complete code of life, thus giving all social, economic, political and legal rights to women. A man and woman cannot be same physically so their rights can also not be the same due to their duties but they have equal rights in society. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) stressed that when some conflict between husband and wife becomes sharpened and there seems no solution, in this situation if wife no more wants to live with husband then she has the right to get divorce. In case husband do not want to give divorce, women has right to go to court for khula.
