BASED ON FATWA ISSUED BY JIHADI PREACHER QARADAWI COURT AGREES WITH LAWYER'S STATEMENT THAT WOMAN WHO DO NOT WEAR HIJAB ARE SLUTS AND SHOULD'NT BE ALLOWED TO TESTIFY IN COURT(JORDAN)

The Jordanian Women's Union,along with lawyers across the Hashemite Kingdom, expressed shock last week after a ruling discriminating against women who do not wear the Islamic hijab was issued by theAmman Sharia Court of Appeal, according to Al Medanah News.



The court announced late last week that it agreed with one lawyer's statement - based on a fatwa - that says a woman who does not cover up or wear a hijab is considered a “slut” and shouldn't be allowed to testify in court.



In response, The Women’s Union released a statement published on Amman net that describes the court’s decision as discrimination against women and a violation of the Jordanian Constitution, which considers all Jordanian men and women as equals.



“The Amman Sharia Court of Appeal has accepted the lawyer’s objection to a female witness from testifying for not wearing the hijab, which the court said would affect the fairness and honesty in her testimony from 3/2/2014.



According to the fatwa, which the court’s decision was based on, women who aren’t covered up are “sluts,” and that gives those women a bad name. Furthermore, the court was unable to support this fatwa apart from with something written in the introduction of a book by Egyptian Islamic Theologian Sheikh Yusuf Al Qaradawi.
