Emphasized by Shoqi Effendi, Baha’is are obliged to misuses the slogan of the equality between men and women in the cult as a suitable proselytizing opportunity. However, how can it possible for a cult to be the herald of this slogan while it possesses unequal verdicts in inheritance and it considers the female gender as inferior and consider the highest foundation of decision making (the universal house of justice specially for men?!
Shoqi Effendi’s (Shoqi Effendi has mentioned the principle of the equality between men and women in this cult as an opportunity for proselytizing and attracting the attention.) has said: “The Baha’is across the world have the opportunity to show their nearby world to approach the new method of relationship between two genders where aggression and resorting to force have been omitted and they have been replaced by cooperation and consultation. If the position of women in the Baha’i teachings has been correctly shown, it will surely take more attention.[1]”
How can Baha’ism be the herald of the slogan of the equality between men and women while its commandments have been passed contrary to it?! How can it possible for a cult to be the herald of this slogan while it possesses unequal verdicts in inheritance[2]and it considers the female gender as inferior and considers the highest foundation of decision making (the universal house of justice specially for men[3]?! And considers the female gender as inferior[4]?!
