Socrates had a wife, but she was a bitch.

To be fair, being married to Socrates would probably suck

weren't the greek women specially in athens more opressed than in a sharia state? How she could be a bitch?

>An unconfirmed anecdote purports that once Xanthippe was so enraged with her husband, that she took a chamber pot and poured it out over Socrates' head, which – goes the tale on – the philosopher accepted with the allegory: “After thunder comes the rain.”

it's almost as if people don't always follow the rules of their society.

No, it was better than Sharia. Not by huge margins, but still better.

Namely, Women weren't ritually mutilated and were considered people instead of property (Second or third class citizens depending on how you want to look at it).

And, of course, just because you're treated poorly doesn't mean you have to act like you're subhuman. The woman still cooked, cleaned, raised the kids, and in some cases worked the finances.

She was the archetypal shrewish wife, at least that's how she's remembered.

Also, Greek women were supposed to not be seen or heard, but they weren't murdered for being cheats

Women are considered separate legal individuals (albeit with reduced rights) according to Sharia law.

So they can still inherit or bequeath wealth, own and manage property separate from the husband, and file for divorce. They also retain their maiden names on marriage.

They have reduced rights when it comes to weighing court testimonies for commercial civil litigation in which the woman is a witness; also their inheritance amount is customarily set at half the amount of their brothers.
