Summary/Abstract: The authors deal with the status of Arab woman in Muslim society. They are analyzing her role in public spheres of social and political life. Qur´an gave many rights to women, but in spite of that there are some pre-islamic customs and traditions transformed into Islamic sharia. Muslim authorities differ in their interpretations of religious texts and that reflects on the real women´s status in Arab society. And this is in present a reason of some restrictions of women rights and freedom in Arab society.
