Islam and Married Women’s Reproductive Rights: A Literature Review

Abstract

The issue of women’s reproductive rights is not something new to the society. Nevertheless, their knowledge and practice with regard to this matter is still in a polemic circle, since misunderstandings and ignorance can still be spotted among the society in empowering reproductive rights. The forthcoming potential encounters and challenges from various parties have drawn the current status of women’s reproductive rights to be at a disadvantageous level. This writing will highlight on previous studies which discussed on women’s reproductive rights, be it in the argument of Shariah or through local practices or the ones in western countries. However, this writing focuses more on the reproductive rights of married women, as it is recognized that they need to live in a larger and complex frame of reproductive role. Hence, it is the responsibility of all parties to ensure that this group obtains the justice to avoid oppression and negligence of each role of reproductive rights of married woman.
