[QUOTE="Auzer, post: 166044, member: 17400"] Thank you. Just on a side note : [I]Harvard School of Law [/I]also have classes on "Islamic Law code (Shari'a law)" .. Do people here really think that an institution like Harvard will teach its students " A girl's testimony is half of man's" and so on :P Yes , it is explicitly stated, just like the rights of women are explicitly stated as I mentioned above.
