Doha: The Centre for Study and Research Development (CSRD), the research wing of Women India Qatar, organized an online forum on "Women’s Property Rights," bringing together speakers and participants to discuss various legal, social, and Islamic perspectives related to women’s rights over property and inheritance.

The programme commenced with a prayer by Tahira Sulaiman. Delivering the introductory address, Women India Qatar President M. Naseema emphasized that Islam promotes gender justice and practical equality based on mutual support and complementarity between men and women. She noted that Islamic teachings ensure women’s rights and dignity through a balanced social framework.

Presenting a session on "Marriage and Mahr," Jaisiya Suneer highlighted that the relationship between husband and wife is founded on love, mercy, and mutual respect, describing these values as divine signs that contribute to family and social stability. Speaking on "Divorce and Maintenance," Ilaihi Sebeela explained that while divorce is permissible in unavoidable circumstances, it should be avoided whenever possible. Referring to Qur’anic teachings, she stated that Mata’a is a legitimate right of women following divorce and should not be regarded as charity or a voluntary gesture.

Addressing the topic of "Inheritance Rights," Sakkiya Muhiyudheen explained that Islamic inheritance laws are divinely ordained, precise, and rooted in justice. She stressed that the system is based on responsibility and fairness rather than gender discrimination. During the interactive question-and-answer session, Fathima S responded to queries from participants, while attendees described the programme as highly informative and effective in raising awareness about women’s rights. The session was moderated by Sulaikha Mecheri, CSRD Coordinator and Vice President of Women India Qatar.
