Sensitivity towards the mutual rights and duties of couples in relation to marital relations in the family is one of the special teachings of the Holy Quran. Some prominent feminist views consider the family and specifically the sexual relations patterns as the fundamental cause of women's inferiority.

Feminist teachings have ignored the identity of human beings due to their humanist and secular foundations.
