Women that live in the middle east and practice the Muslim religion, are required to follow the Law of Sharia. The Law of Sharia along with the Quran, allow the men to have control over most everything. Women must refer to their husbands to manage any assets. They can never have access to land or financial resources. After Islam expanded into the Byzantine empire, women began to have to wear a veil over their faces as a sign of modesty.
