Does Islam Teach That a Woman Is Worth Less Than a Man?
Question by axn: Does Islam teach that a woman is worth less than a man?
Absolutely. The only debatable point is by what degree.
The Qur’an:Sura (4:11) – (Inheritance) “The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females” (see also Sura (4:176)).
Sura (2:282) – (Court testimony) “And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women”
Sura (24:31) – Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye.
Sura (4:3) – (Wife-to-husband ratio) “Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four”
Bukhari (6:301) – “[Muhammad] said, ‘Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?’ They replied in the affirmative. He said, ‘This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'”The fourth Caliph, who was Muhammad’s son-in-law and cousin, said just a few years after the prophet’s death that “The entire woman is an evil. And what is worse is that it is a necessary evil.”
A traditional Islamic saying is that, “A woman’s heaven is beneath her husband’s feet.”

Uh no, women are to be respected in Islam and appear “less than” to some outsiders because some cultural differences are all some people see, especially those who don’t really look at the more altruistic understanding of the prophet’s teachings.
Women were rescued from maltreatment before Muhammad was expected to recite, and that time frame is called the jahiliya “Times of Ignorance”. It was a time when women were much abused and the birth of a daughter was grounds for her death. Some cultures stick to old ideas but true Islam does NOT teach that.
Women work hard, especially if they stay at home and take care of the house and children, men are expected to support them, and please them. The “traditional” Islamic saying is that HEAVEN is at the feet of the MOTHER, therefore you must respect you mother and women in general.
That some people twist this around for their own sad agendas isn’t the fault of those Muslims who are altruistic, wise, compassionate, etc. It’s illogical to claim all are as such for the ideas of a few.
It seems you would benefit from a few actual years of REAL study in Islam.

1-Male has the equal of the portion of two females because male is responsible for needs of his relatives( females) in Islam.
2-Male equals two females as a witness because females are more emotional than males which makes their memories less stronger than males.
3-Islam ordered women to lower their gaze around men as it ordered Men to do the same around women.
4-You didn’t mention the condition of marrying more than a woman.This condition is to be completely just with orphans which is nearly impossible,so it is really ordering not to marry more than a woman as they can’t be just with more than one.
5-You didn’t mention any reference for the saying of the Fourth Caliph or the Traditional Islamic saying you mentioned.
