Human Rights and Islam

One of the oldest principles of human rights is equality between men and women. And in this respect, some believed that Islamic Law is opposed to the principle. 
Islamic Hijab: 
Some claim that an obstacle to realize the goal of "gender equality" is Islamic Hijab. It should be said in response to the claim that according to Islamic Law none of the women are forced to wear uniforms or a standard-form dress in public spaces, although there are some restrictions on clothing. But in most countries of the world the restrictions on clothing is exist with the aim of protection of moral welfare, mental health and security. Nudity at public places is prohibited by law, for instance, in many European countries. As a result, Islamic Law does not violate the women's freedom in the case of clothing and appearance. 
Special rights and benefits of Islam: 
According to Islamic Law, men and women rights and legitimate benefits are divided in two categories: common (or identical) rights and special rights. Special rights refer to those rights or benefits that only men or women have them. Some consider this as inequality between men and women in Islamic law. 
In response to the claim it must be said that special rights and benefits of Islamic Law have been distribute equally between men and women. For example, based on Islamic Law, women have specific rights of alimony (that may include the right to a maid for some) and mahr with effective performance bonds from both civil law and criminal law. Therefore, the special rights of Islamic Law do not violate the rights of women in the case of equality of women and men. So the Islamic source of civil law countries such as Iran is coordinated with modern criterions of legislators.
