Global 3-4 Human Rights Test

Base your answer to the following question on the passage below and on your knowledge of social studies.
. . . The grim statutes [laws] that I would spend the rest of my life ghting stared back at me from the page: the
value of a woman's life was half that of a man (for instance, if a car hit both on the street, the cash compensation
due to the woman's family was half that due the man's); a woman's testimony in court as a witness to a crime
counted only half as much as a man's; a woman had to ask her husband's permission for divorce. The drafters of
the penal code had apparently consulted the seventh century for legal advice. The laws, in short, turned the clock
back fourteen hundred years, to the early days of Islam's spread, the days when stoning women for adultery and
chopping o the hands of thieves were considered appropriate sentences. . . .
