This study discusses woman's status under Islam, it discusses Islamic laws relating to marriage, divorce and dowery. According to the author, Islam probably inherited a world where woman's position was low, but it became worse when Islam took over and the old Arabic social practices became Revealed commands of God. Today Woman's problem in Islam is more ideological than legal; her depressed social position derives from her depressed theological position. But now under new compulsions and impulses, some effort is being made to improve woman's lot.  The author welcomes this effort but believes that the problem of reform under Islam is a difficult one.
