Testimony of one man is equal to that of two women what is the meaning of this sentence
Answers
Answer:
This has been mentioned in the Quran.
With regard to the witness of two women being equal to the testimony of one man, Allaah has mentioned the wisdom behind, specifying the number of two, as a woman may forget or get confused with her testimony and so the other woman can remind her about the matter concerning the testimony (which has been given).
Allaah has commanded the testimony of two women so as to be sure that they remember, because the mind and memory of two women takes the place of the mind and memory of one man.
This does not mean that a woman does not understand or that she cannot remember things, but she is weaker than man in these aspects – usually. Scientific and specialized studies have shown that men’s minds are more perfect than those of women, and reality and experience bear witness to that.
