The leaders of the Baha’ism cult have introduced the equality of woman and man’s rights as their superficially innovative teaching and called it as their honor document; while they have indicated it as a null slogan. As they have forced men to pay dowry and have assumed the girl who isn’t virgin isn’t merited to receive dowry!
The Baha’i proselytizers have claimed that the Baha’ism creed has issued the commandment of equality between men and women for the first time and mentioned it as their honor document; as Shoqi Effendi has said: “The Baha’is across the world have the opportunity to show their surrounding world to achieve an innovative method in the relationship of two sexes where aggression and using force have been omitted and replaced by consultation and cooperation. In the Baha’i teaching shown, it will be definitely be perpended.[1]” First, supposing the correctness of the equality, the Baha’i leaders have copied the slogan of equality between men and women from the other schools.[2]
Secondly; by violating this slogan repeatedly, the Baha’i leaders have proven believing in this principle as null. Pay attention to this Baha’i commandment which is contradictory with the slogan of the equality between men and women.
Next, Supposing we accept the proselytizers’ justification. If after marriage it becomes clear that the girl isn’t virgin, the Baha’i man can take back the paid dowry: “If after paying dowry the man finds out that his wife isn’t virgin, he can take back the dowry.[3]”
