A Study of the Foundations and Principles of Appointing Women to Political and Social Positions

Making judgement about the women’s rights in all aspects, including appointing them to social and political positions, is based on a true understanding of many constituent elements such as jurisprudential and legal foundations, principles, evidence, and reasons, whether of confirming or prohibiting nature, as well as their examination. There have appeared many books and articles in the field of jurisprudential reasons and evidence but the foundations and the principles have not yet been taken into serious consideration. The findings of this research work show that with regard to the ontological and anthropological foundations of rights and obligations as well as the relevant pivotal defining principles, though the reality of legal distinctions in the field of family rights between man and woman is undeniable, extending these distinctions to cover social and political positions need particular evidence and thus due to the established (accepted) foundations and principles one cannot consider the limitations of appointing women to different positions as applicable to all women in case legal considerations are taken into account.
