The thesis presented by the student Rabab Hikmat Mutashar included four chapters (the Arab environment, the culture of dealing with women, the source of the image in the mentality of the Umayyad rulers, the projective suggestions in the image of women, and the effects and data of the image).
The thesis aims to explain the treatment of women by the Umayyad rulers, which was hidden from many, and to highlight the reasons, motives, and methods they invented for their actions.
The thesis concluded:
The culture of insulting women was not a culture of the birth of the covenant, but its roots extended to a time older than that era from ancient times to the recent times of Islam and that culture diversified with its customs, traditions, methods and methods, and was dealt with according to the passions and desires taken by the ancient nations and civilizations, so the mentality of the Umayyad rulers extended beyond the Umayyad ages to the adult era Beyond that, the Umayyads took advantage of the weak positions of women to master their humiliation and enjoy the view of this image of women from impotence and humiliation, and they resorted to placing false accounts for that as well, and their infernal upbringing was based on low and weak foundations.
