This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the domestication of Muslim women
during the Umayyad period (660-750 A.D). Umayyad was the first dynasty which
ruled over the Muslim Empire without any partition of the caliphate. The paper
attempts to explore the general condition of the society of Umayyad and how the
political and social status of the Muslim women transformed through the passage
of time in 92 years. The social condition of women under caliphs shows how some
misogynist elements of that time put restrictions on Muslim women regarding their
political participation and increasing social and economic freedom under the
growing influences of foreign elements as well as economic prosperity. Further,
the paper explored the process of domestication of women, its causes, impacts and
women’s point of view on this domestication. The males’ perspective was also
discussed. The study suggests that the process of domestication could be seen in
three stages i.e. complete freedom, limited freedom and complete domestication of
Muslim women. The research is qualitative in its nature and based in historicalanalytical design. The approach is empirical and relates to the critical social
science school of thought.
