Evidence of Woman in Islamic Perspective

Abstract

Dispensation of justice is a prerequisite for any society to move forward.
The concept of justice encompasses whole spheres of life. The judicial system
of Islam is based on very strong footings. According to the Sharia, testimony is
one means of proof. One aspect of it is 'evidence of woman' which has been
discussed by the jurists in detail.
According to the majority opinion, evidence of woman is acceptable only
in civil cases and Ta'azirat., while it is not acceptable for the punishment of
Hudood and Qisas. They have based their opinion on some verses of the Holy
Quran and the Traditions, while there is a strong opinion of some other jurists
that there is no restriction on the evidence of woman in all kinds of cases.
This article deals with the issue in which different opinions of the jurists
have been presented with their arguments.
