Woman's Rights

In the nineteenth century, a school known as "The Unity System of Couples Nationality" expressed that women ought to obtain the nationality of their spouses after marriage. In different words, the nationality of men ought to be forced on women. In any case, in the twentieth century, a development known as woman's rights developed which prompted the arrangement of a school named "Arrangement of Nationality Independence". This school supported the partition of marriage and nationality and accepted that women’s nationality ought not to change following marriage. The previously mentioned legitimate schools have had various indications in the positive laws of various nations and some of the time it is difficult to order them into a single lawful school. The lawful frameworks of nations can be ordered into two gatherings: lawful frameworks upholding the burden of spouses' nationality on spouses; lawful frameworks restricting the inconvenience of spouses' nationality on wives.

Late Nineteenth

Sometime in the late 1890s, Sayyid Mumtaz Ali visited Aligarh and happened to show Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan the manuscript of his treatise in defense of women's rights in Islamic law, Huquq un-Niswan. As he began to read it, Sir Sayyid looked shocked. He then opened it to a second place and his face turned red. As he read it at a third place, his hands started to tremble. Finally, he tore up the manuscript and threw it into the wastepaper basket. Fortunately, at that moment a servant arrived to announce lunch, and as Sir Sayyid left his office, Mumtaz Ali snatched his mutilated manuscript from the trash. He waited until after Sir Sayyid's death in 1898, however, to publish Huquq un-Niswan.

This chapter explores Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s views on women’s reproductive rights. It traces the voluntary motherhood movement among women’s rights activists and social reformers, which endorsed women’s singular right to choose sexual relations and procreation. Stanton took this concept a step further, advocating eugenic ideas of enlightened motherhood as a method of birth control. The chapter juxtaposes Stanton’s work for reproductive control against the abortion movement of the latter nineteenth century, which eventually criminalized abortion in all states. Following Stanton’s interest in the trial of Hester Vaughan for infanticide, the chapter reveals how Stanton used the trial to expose gendered inequalities of the law, including women’s exclusion as judges, lawyers, legislators, and jurors.
