Egypt is one of the countries that its law is an enemy of women 's rights. Its laws come from the interpretation of some scholars to the Koran and how they understand it. Women 's rights in Egypt have long been severely restricted due to Sharia (Islamic law) and cultural traditions. The laws are base on discriminatory. So, it was the time for the women to get back their freedom and not be treated like a bird placed in a cage. Women plays a vital role in our life so they should be provided with equal level as men; they asked for their rights and freedom of speech and to be treated equal to men as they are no less. So they united and formed a revolution in 2011.

In order to have human equality, these laws should be revised. The koran, for instance, allots daughters half the inheritance of sons. Family law in Islamic countries grants the husband the right to divorce his wife for any reason, however, if the wife wanted to get divorced, she needs grounds to file for divorce based on strong reasons, and the judge may or may not grant her divorce. As a consequence, many married women stick with the bad marriage for their fear to lose their children because typically, fathers win custody of boys over the age of six and girls after the onset of puberty. Based on Islamic laws, the woman must have only one spouse, while the man is permitted four; Polygamy is legal for men only. As well as, the Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim woman, but a Muslim woman doesn 't have the same right. Above all, the legal age for marrying a girl tends to be very young. The law has occasionally been exploited by pedophiles, who marry young girls and then abandon them. By the way, there is no law against female circumcision; It is removing part or all of a girl 's citrons in order to reduce her sexual desire and thereby preserve chastity. Further, women are required to cover their bodies by wearing veil for the fear they might arouse the lust of men other than their husbands. The laws of adultery crimes depend on discrimination and sexism. For instance, If a married man catches his wife red-handed in the crime, and kills her and her partner, he does not face intentional murder charges or even manslaughter, he only gets a sentence as low as 24 hours. If a wife catches her husband red-handed and kills him, she immediately faces murder charges with its maximum sentence as the judge sees fit. Besides, a section in the Koran has been interpreted to say that men have preeminence over women and they are overseers of them. Men give themselves the right to beat their wives; wife beating is
