Just like the Bible and the Koran. But I think what matters is how they are currently being interpreted. If you've actually seen the full extent of what Sharia Law is generally used for in its home countries, its definitely a bad thing for women's rights. Nevermind the fact that thousands of women fleeing countries because of Sharia Laws. Nevermind the sheer number of Sharia horror stories that are already published, or all of the existing opposition for it. What do those people know? Just listen to that one person tell you that Sharia Law is not a bad thing, and tada! - it's not a bad thing anymore. He obviously knows more about Sharia than you do, so he has to be right, right? Otherwise, you're just an Islamophobe and a bad person. Well sure, Sharia Laws can be interpreted however you like. Just like the Bible and the Koran.

True that Islam gives men more powers than women but to see why does it say so is important. Taking just the literal meaning isn't really going to help in any way. My point here is Quran. The law in case of inheritance is straight away given by Quran. It needs no interpretation to the extent when we are discussing the formula of dividing the wealth of the deceased among his/her family members. We dont have to argue on this right? You might be seen as over-stepping the so-called western values of "equality" when you obey any such Quranic verse, but being a muslim, acting upon Quran does hold its own spiritual and worldly benefits. Quran's claim surely needs more explanations to it by learned scholars in Islam.

Sharia law is all about interpretation and cannot be looked at verbatim. It can be twisted to favor one party or the another. The balance you talk about in the society is not reflected on the ground and you know that as well as I do, I talk about what I see with my eyes and don't consider perfect scenarios where every human being is well versed with the Islamic code.

Islam does not favour anyone be it a man or woman.Islam asks to give woman less share as the woman has to get married and settle in some other faimly where she wiil be posseing her own share along with that of her husband(he would inherit that from his own faimly).Does it show Islam favouring men?No way.In fact this practice creates balance in the society.
