Women's position in Islam

Author: Abu Hena Muhammad Rafique

Question no 2: Women are really ignorant! Why two women are equal to one man witness?
Answer:
Like the first answer of the first question when we believed the Rasool to be 100% true and justifiable, then all that he was given by Almighty and  Merciful Allaah is true. Thus we (the believers) with complete conviction agreed to accept, without any hesitation, that Allah’s decision is right, yes, as rational being we have the inquisitiveness to know the reason and so trying as follows.
We (male and female) all know that we all are humans, but not equal physically, mentally and emotionally. Due to physically soft, females are more akin to forget or be forced to decline the witness; but if supported and strengthened by another one then she feels strong. Thus two points have been indicated in verse 282 of chapter 2 saying
مِمَّن تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ ٱلشُّهَدَآءِ أَن تَضِلَّ إِحْدَىٰهُمَا فَتُذَكِّرَ إِحْدَىٰهُمَا ٱلْأُخْرَىٰ... 
These female witnesses should be taken from those with whom you are satisfied as regards their fidelity (and forgetfulness, being their one of the instinctive qualities, as said by the Creator), two females are required, if one forgets the other will remind.
