Book excerpt: Does Islam encourage 'wife-beating'? Does it oppress women by virtue of their gender? Was the Prophet Muhammad depraved in marrying 'Ai'sha at such a young age? The main focal point of this book are the key arguments commonly presented in reference to women and various legal positions related to them in Islam.
