Context of Women's Testimony

In historical contexts, most business transactions were conducted by men, often leading to women's testimonies being overshadowed or dismissed. The Quran addresses this by emphasizing the need for two women to testify alongside one man, which many question as implying women's testimony is lesser. However, the reasoning suggests that this requirement is often contextual, aiming to protect women from intimidation and ensure clarity in situations where they might feel uncertain. Importantly, this does not imply that women are inherently less credible; rather, it provides a safeguard when societal pressures could undermine their testimonies.
