Mohan:
Madhavakutty embraced Islam, which recommends good and fair treatment of women in general. How is she going to reconcile with the following excerpted from Koran?

Here are some excerpts from Holy Koran:

Women are your fields: go, then, into your fields whence you please 2:222
Women shall with justice have rights similar to those exercised against them, although men have a status above women. 2:228
Enjoin believing women .......... not to reveal their finery to male attendants lacking natural vigour, and children who have no carnal knowledge of women. And let them not stamp their feet when walking so as to reveal their hidden trinkets.
God will not forgive idolatry.......They pray to mere females. 4:114
Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good Women are obedient. ...Disobedient women... send them to beds apart and beat them. 4:34
A male shall inherit twice as much as a female. 4:10
