Abstract
This study attempts to analyze Honor (2013) by Elif Shafak from an Islamic feminist perspective in order to investigate the women rights in Islam. Men treat women as an inferior sex everywhere they go, including in England and Turkey. Both the village in Turkey and the country of England share the same social mindset. Places have little impact in altering such mindsets. Women suffer as a result of being ruled by a society that is dominated by men. Turkish author Shafak has both a Turkish hamlet and England in her novel. This novel explores the so-called male ego in which a son kills his mother to preserve the honor of his family. Honor killings are thought to have been a problem for the Muslim world ever since the development of Islam. Margot Badran’s (1994) Islamic feminist theory has been chosen by the researcher to illustrate the inequalities of women’s rights in the text. Islamic feminism studies the treatment of women in Islam which aims at the equality of all Muslims, regardless of gender, in both public and private life
