In Islam, a woman has rights of freedoms of choice and expression based on recognition of her individual personality. First, a non-Muslim woman can not be forced to convert for marriage, or upon the conversion of parents. The Quran states: “There is no compulsion in religion. Right has been made distinct from error.” (Quran 2:256) Women are encouraged in Islam to contribute their ideas. There are many traditions of the Prophet which indicate that women would pose questions directly to him and offer their opinions concerning religion, economics and social matters.
