Chapter 2, verse 282 of the Quran reads: “And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women.” The Quran meant this to apply to financial transactions where the testimony of a second woman could help clear up any confusion on their part, as historically Muslim men are more involved in financial affairs. However, this has been wrongly interpreted by Saudis to mean that a women’s testimony in court is worth less than a mans.
