and women don't have the same property rights or divorce rights as men do.

There's a good example for you. The Quran explicity gives women the right of divorce and remarry, says they can't be held against their will, and states that they will be taken care of after the divorce (alimony). If she initiated the divorce where the husband wasn't at fault, she just has to give back the dowry, if any. True, a man may divorce by saying so three times, but then begins a waiting period where they have to live together without relationships, for the purpose of getting them to work out their differences. A woman wanting divorce simply needs to go to the court as we do in this country.

But that's from the Quran. Misogynist societies may warp it into something different that treats the women as slaves.

You don't have a clue as to what sharia is.

"The Quran explicity gives women the right of divorce and remarry, says they can't be held against their will, and states that they will be taken care of after the divorce (alimony).

"If she initiated the divorce"

Under islamic law, a woman is NOT allowed to initiate divorce.

Your statement is "A woman wanting divorce simply needs to go to the court as we do in this country."

The above is ABSOLUTELY FALSE.

Again, a woman can NOT initiate divorce proceedings and she is NOT entitled to an equal share of the marital assets. She is considered, under sharia, as half a man.

Sura al-Nisa´ 4:11: "God charges you, concerning your children: to the male the like of the portion of two females, and if they be women above two,
