what are the laws for women in Israel?
87395
The legal system in Israel treats men and women equally, in accordance with the Israeli Declaration of Independence from 1948.  Women also receive paid maternity leave, and all that good stuff.  \nThe only area of law where women may be treated differently is in matters of marriage and divorce, which are run by respective religious courts (Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc.) This is a remanent of Ottoman (Turkish) and British colonial rule.  They governed according to their own rule, and much of Israeli law to this day is still based on British law, but they left religious matters to religious courts for fairly obvious reasons.  Part of the reason for why this hasn't changed is because Israel, as a Jewish State, has no separation of church and state.\nBut overall, things are alright, and definitely better than any other country in the Middle East.

I will explain some from Saudi Arabia which is the center of the muslim world and thought to be very muslim like.\n\n1. Women can't drive even if they have International driver license.\n2. Women can't go outside alone even if they need a prescribed medicine and their life is in danger.\n3. Women have to share their husbands with other wives and kaneezes (slave girls).\n4. Women have half the rights of a man if their father or husband dies (heredity rights).\n5. women have half the vote meaning if a man sees new moon of Ramadan or Eid equals if 2 women sees it and witness.\n6. Women have to wear a veil on their face even if that hinders the site and they fall in a ditch or manhole (its okay).\n7. If they don't do any of the above they are beaten by Religious police (shurta) with a wooden stick like animals.\n\nThese are some of the rights women have.

Yes. There is already a ban on the conduct of government servants in India but certain Muslim government servants indulge in polygamy on the plea of religious rights, but that is illegal. Hence, it is high time that the government should extend it to the general public so that the status of women in general is well secured in the eyes of law.

I want to go around to places in the world where women aren't treated fairly and help them gain their rights.

Probably the U.S. military is the best example.  \n\nThey still enforce quotas for women, who are excluded from many combat duties I believe, unless there's been massive changes since I was in about 15 years ago.

if you break the law in the middle east there are very harsh punishments. for example cutting of your hand or leaking a red hot spoon or sometimes death. women are treated differently because their culture does not recognize womens rights.

No, it is because of woman's lib, and the laws which protect them, and also give them the right to be 'MEN'

There is more to the rape law. Back up to Deuteronomy 22:23-24 (NAB) \n\n"If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife."\n\nNow, if you read Judges 21:10-24, Numbers 31:7-18, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Deuteronomy 21:10-14, Deuteronomy 22:23-29, 2 Samuel 12:11-14, Judges 5:30, Exodus 21:7-11 and Zechariah 14:1-2, it's pretty clear the God actually APPROVES of rape and even uses it as a reward for his minions.\n\nIf you actually read the Bible, you'll find that God really doesn't give a whooping fundt about women. Women are property.\n\nWhat you are reading in Deuteronomy 22:28-29 is property law. Raping a mans betrothed is not about whether it is right or wrong to rape someone. It is about the punishment for devaluing another mans property. If you read very carefully, you'll notice there is no prohibition on raping a woman who is not betrothed, that is to say, the property of another man.\n\n-SD-

Be Wise..\nThere is so many people or organizations that agreeing or disagreeing this political issue. In Indonesia, these problem is being sensitive. One side, the religious party always said that it would save and respect the women's honor, but in other side, the liberal party said that anti-porographic and pornoaction law just only make women rights are limited.\n\nIt is up to you to against or approve it. But, before you decide it, please have a deep thinks about this: Women is the pillar of a nation, if the women of a nation are nasty, you can imagine how the nation would be.\n\nOnce again, Be Wise

They have laws there?

I am sure there is, ask a lawyer or some women organisations - try ...google... give key words like: women violence at home organisations. If not in your city, call the ones in internet and ask them for local organisations. Normally they have a hot line.\n\nUnfortunately I live outside USA and can't help you concrete

Some of what was said earlier is absolutely correct but I will try to clarify.  A traditional Jew does not have to be born in Israel.  A traditional Jew is one who keeps some basic laws but not necessarily all of them.  Like perhaps going to synagogue on occasion or maybe keeping kosher but they arent necessarily observant.\nOrthodox Jews keep all of the laws - keeping kosher, dressing modestly, keeping sabbath, and much more.\nThere are many sects of orthodoxy.  Firstly there are Hasidim - who follow the words of a certain Rabbi, eg. Belzer Hasidim, Lubavitcher Hasidim etc.  Then there are Misnagdim - who are regular orthodox jews but do not follow one certain Rabbi. Lastly there are modern orthodox jews who are slightly more lenient with the laws, but still observant.  \nThe orthodox jew does not shave their sideburns or beard.  Hasidim go to more of an extreme in never cutting their earlocks and letting them grow very long. But cutting them is permissible to the regular orthodox, as long as some remains.  There is no "orthodox jewish language" but most Hasidim still speak Yiddish which is very close go German as a remnant of when they came from Europe.  In Israel of course Hebrew would be spoken as well as English.  \nSkullcaps are used to cover the head to remember that G-d is constantly above us. Clothing is modest - Women and girls over the age of 5 covering legs, elbows, collar bones.\nMarried women cover their hair with a wig or kerchief so as not to attract other men.\nThere really is no problem with doctors. If the woman may have a concern, she can always request a nurse to be present when the doctor does his examination.  \nYes Judaism is a religion, but it is also a culture and a way of life.  \nI hope this helps.

Women and their roles:\n\nEsther was a beautiful Jewish maiden who was placed by God in the unlikely position of risking her life to courageously save the entire nation of Israel.\n\nDeborah was a strong-minded and unique woman in Old Testament times. Besides the usual role as wife, she was a prophetess, warrior and Judge of Israel.

In Jewish law, men and women do not touch other men or women outside their immediate family. So, that includes things like shaking hands.
