THE RIGHTS OF MEN AND WOMEN
My religious view – which is born out of a half century of deliberation and effort and while recalling the religious jurisprudence of Javaheri and durable methods of religious jurisprudence– is that the rights of men and women are equal in all affairs, and a woman can take up any and all government posts or very important religious positions. I also believe that just as men can be active in all social and intellectual affairs, women, too, can do the same. How is it possible to believe that men can ascend to the heavens from women’s laps, but these same women are denied their basic social and individual rights? So, women, too, can reach the highest echelons of society and occupy the highest governmental posts such as being the head of government and the leadership. I have proven that this is indeed a very real possibility, and from the perspective of our understanding of the Koran and Islam, there is no difference between men and women so long as entering politics or the employment market is concerned, and I have searched for the criterion in religious knowledge, purity, and piety, and not in the differences between the sexes.
