**//__ Mormon: __//** In most religions the men are normally in control as well as the mormon religion but for the most part woman have control as well. For instance only men can become preist in momon society. But something that both woman and men share is that they both must practice abstanece until merriage. Sexualy contact is prohibited in moman religion. It is said to be sacraed and should cherich until merriange. **//__ Hindu: __//** As in many other religions Hindu woman have little control over their lives the men dominate pretty much everything. In the Hindu religion woman stay in their parents custody until they have a arranged marriage in which they have no control of. In the hundu religion woman are considered to be a mans, servant, minister, mother, as well as their lover. Esentialy then man has all the control over the woman and what she can and ca not due. **//__ Compare/Contrast: __//** As you see all three of these religions have in common male dominacy in which there are alpha males that call the shots. Its easy to compare Muslim and Hindu religions because they have similar beliefs about there woman. As in both religion their woman are said to he led on a pedalstul but it doesn’t seem like they are. In both religion the monan has no say of who she marries or whom she can sleep with. Both religious groups beive that a woman should be pure (virgin) when married and that the parent are to choose whom she marries. In both of these religious groups woman are wear head wrap, as well as dreses that cover their bodies. They are said to be sacred and should be kept in the presence of the hom and they are not allowed to take it off aroud other me only woman. Although moron religion is the least similar ithas similarities as well. For instance mormons also have control over their woman in ways such as, woman arnt allowed to becom preits or take upon any leadership roles within the church. This leads back to the similarties with Hindu, and Muslims their woman arnt allowed to take any leadership roles either. The only thing that seperaates mormons is that they believ both woman and men should practice absteance until maerriage in the other two religions that ruleonly applies to woman. **Islam :** 60.4. ... there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever, unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone.  48.29. Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.   9.64. Verily Allah has cursed the Unbelievers and prepared for them a Blazing Fire,-     “Not by the weak, not by the unearnest, Not by those who practice wrong disciplines. Can the Self be realized. The Self reveals.Himself as the Lord of __ Love __ to the one.Who practices right disciplines.” - Mundaka Upanishad // “In paradise there is [no such thing as] fear;thou art // not there, nor //shrinks one from old age.// // Hunger and thirst, these two transcending, // // Sorrow, surpassing, a man makes merry in paradise.” // - // Katha Upanishad // // “I am boundless space. // // The world is a clay pot. This is the truth. There is nothing to accept, Nothing to reject,Nothing to dissolve.” // - // Ashtavakra Gita 6:1 // When conducting my research about my main question I learned more than I expected. I learned how woman are viewed through a different lenze other than my own. Also that a lot of religions are very similar to one another. When answering my question I made a connection to my frinds thath I know of in different religions and myself and noticed are religionas are similar to Hindu, Muslim, and Morman. But not only our religion how we choose to live out lives in general.
 * //__ Research Question: __//** What effect does gender have on Muslim, Hindu, and Mormon religions?
 * //__ Introduction: __//** Whether you believe it or not gender plays a large role in many religions. Especially religions mainly based around male dominancy. Gender effects religious groups such as Muslim, Hindu, and Mormon in the same ways the male is more dominate in each religion. Theses religious groups are all based upon woman being held on a high standard but still not treat fairly. Each of theses religious groups speak of woman is important but yet there not treated as though they are. Also all of these religious groups have in common is that the males dictate what happens in females lives, prayers and so forth. This brochure is organized as follows; individual religious groups traditions beliefs and gender roles, compare and contrast of religious groups; lastly quotes and analysis of the quotes I’ve gotten form my sources.
 * //__ Muslim: __//** In the muslin religion woman and men are men’t to be equal but it doesn’t turn out to be this way. The Qu’ran says states that woman and men are equal but this isn’t portreyed in any way of the laws of islam or in any contries that practice this religion. Men have the upper hand in basically everything and woman are pretty much told what to do. Men work, make the decision of what happens in his life and dictate everything. Were as woman don’t have equal right they don’t have choice of meriage or devorce, or weather they can have custody of there children. Muslim men ware Jubars which are long thin robe that comes a little pas therir kees. This is a sunnat of The Holy Prophet (salalahu alayhi wa salaam), who used to wear these. This is optional to men were as woman are to wear hijabs and kemars, as well as a dress that covers their body.
