Quran and Women Civic Duty

Population on the earth is divided almost equally into two genders of men and women. Paternalism has been the order of the day since when man set foot on the earth. The question posed is how Quran which is the words of God، judges paternalism. In this article، it is aimed to investigate Quran verses 228، 34 and 33 in Surah Bagharah، Nesa and Ahzab respectively which jurist consults of the past and present considers them to imply women deprivation of assuming civil responsibilities. Conclusion in this article is that the above Quran’s verses referred to above negate the deprivation of women from being involved in civic activities. Women are authorized to become chairs and ministers، limitations as such are limited only to prophets’ wives.
