Nigeria - Sharia Helps Women!

In today's South African newspaper, The Star, a rather bizarre claim is made by Ibrahim Naiya Sada, director of the Centre for Islamic Legal Studies at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. He states that Sharia protects the rights of women better than traditional law. Other Muslim jurusts support his view, despite the fact that women have been sentenced to death by stoning under sharia law, which is practised in 12 states of Nigeria, mostly in the north of the country. Out of Nigeria's 140 million population, about half are Muslim, and half are Christian.

Sharia law, abolished when the country was under British rule, was reinstated shortly after the country reverted to "democracy" six years ago. Few girls are sent to school in the 12 sharia states.

"Denying this is against sharia, which expects men and women to be equally educated," says a booklet produced by a team of jurists, scholars and sociologists headed by Sada.

Sada says some exploitation of women is rooted in poverty, but here too, sharia could make a positive contribution because it calls for Muslims to give alms and to support the needy.
