The social networks of Baha’ism have considered the reasons for the difference between man and woman as “the educational issues” as Abdul Baha has said. They have rejected the spiritual, emotional and physical differences among men and women. (The Baha’i telegram channel). However, contrary to the claim of this Baha’i leader, it should be mentioned that the differences between men and women are intrinsic confessed by all thinkers. According to Aristotle, the sort of talent in men and women is different and the tasks assigned to them by the creation rule and the rights which have been enacted for them are different. (Woman’s right systems in Islam, p. 202)
Now, how does the leader of the deviant cult considers the mere reason for the difference between these two genders as the educational issues ignoring all structural and intrinsic differences between men and women?
Nevertheless, it is interesting to be noted that this principle has been violated in Baha’ism and this equality can’t be observed in its commandments and the Baha’i leaders don’t believe in the equality: The rural women’s dowry than the urban one’s, Hajj pilgrimage is banned for women, no woman is the member of the UHJ, the division of heritage between male and female offspring.
