Woman (Muslimah) Objects bought by a `husband` for baring children purpose. The whole body of a woman is considered a sexual shame to be covered entirely. Her virginity at marriage is second to none in importance throughout all Islamic traditions. Quranic verses on their slavery status are abundant. Still they belong to hell for most of them: The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men" Winston Churchill, The River War, original edition of 1899.
