is not solely the obligation they must do.
Umar bin Khattab once said, "In the past we Arabs did not take into account women at all but when God called them, we just found out that women have rights things that we should not intervene, because even though Al - The Qur'an wants a view of equality between men and women but they cannot avoid the Arabic cultural context at that time which gives more status to men, the social construction at that time has positioned men in the duties and responsibilities of the household and as providers while women's duties are regulating domestic affairs.
Women are economic resources that are no less important than men, women actually hold a very important function in the family, the presence of women in the household is not just a reproductive complement, but more than that women often donate which is great for economic survival and home welfare ladder and community, the level of work participation of women in general is still low when compared to men.
