Women’s Rights
- EnglishThrough the creation of Islamic social infrastructures, all the human recources that hitherto served the multifaceted foreign exploitation shall regain their true identity and human rights. As a part of this natural recovery, it is only natural that women should benefit from a particularly large augmentation of their rights, because of the greater oppression that they suffered under the taghuti regime.
The family is the fundamental unit of society and the main centre for the growth and excellence of human being. Compatibility with respect to belief and ideal, which provides the primary basis for man's development and growth, is the main consideration in the establishment of a family. It is the duty of the Islamic government to provide the necessary facilities for the attainment of this goal. This view of the family unit delivers woman from being regarded as an object or as an instrument in the service of promoting consumerism and exploitation. Not only does woman recover thereby her momentous and precious function of motherhood, rearing of ideologically committed human beings, she also assumes a pioneering social role and becomes the fellow struggler of man in all vital areas of life, thus, she is given greater responsibility and in Islamic view, she is accorded higher value and dignity. (Woman in the Constitution, Preamble) - Persianدر ایجاد بنیادهای اجتماعی اسلامی، نیروهای انسانی که تاکنون درخدمت استثمار همهجانبه خارجی بودند هویت اصلی و حقوق انسانی خود را باز مییابند و در این بازیابی طبیعی است که زنان به دلیل ستم بیشتری که تاکنون از نظام طاغوتی متحمل شدهاند استیفای حقوق آنان بیشتر خواهد بود.
خانواده واحد بنیادین جامعه و کانون اصلی رشد و تعالی انساناست و توافق عقیدتی و آرمانی در تشکیل خانواده که زمینهساز اصلی حرکت تکاملی و رشدیابنده انسان است اصل اساسی بوده وفراهمکردن امکانات جهت نیل به این مقصود از وظایف حکومتاسلامی است. زن در چنین برداشتی از واحد خانواده، از حالت (شیء بودن) و یا (ابزار کاربودن) در خدمت اشاعه مصرفزدگی واستثمار، خارج شده و ضمن بازیافتن وظیفه خطیر و پر ارج مادری در پرورش انسانهای مکتبی پیشاهنگ خود همرزم مردان در میدانهای فعال حیات میباشد و در نتیجه پذیرای مسوولیتیخطیرتر و در دیدگاه اسلامی برخوردار از ارزش و کرامتی والاتر خواهد بود. (زن در قانون اساسی، مقدمه)
