Man has always tried  to determine  and tamper the image of woman and especially her identity is manipulated and orchestrated. Whenever a woman is spoken of, it is always in the relation to man; she is presented as a wife , mother, daughter and even as a lover but never as a woman  a human being- a separate entity. Her entire life is idealized and her fundamental rights and especially her behaviour is engineered by the adherents of patriarchal society. Commenting  on the Man-woman relationship in a marital bond Simone de Beauvoir wrote in her epoch-making book entitled The Second Sex(1949): "It has been said that marriage diminishes man,  which is often true , but almost always it annihilates women". Feminist movement advocates the equal rights and equal opportunities for women. The true spirit of feminism is into look at women and men as human beings. There should not be gender bias or discrimination in familial and social life. To secure gender justice and gender equity is the key aspects of feminist movement. In India, women writers have come forward to voice their feminist approach to life and the patriarchal family set up. They believe that the very notion of gender is not only biotic and biologic episode but it has a social construction.

The Islamic religion nowadays is demanded to involve actively in giving solutions of various problems faced by the Muslims. One of them is womanhood issues. Women are often positioned in a subordinate position and are less respected. Moreover, it seems having legitimacy from theological doctrines that is supported by patriarchy system. The reaction of imbalance and injustice from patriarchy system therefore results a feminist movement. The demand of Islamic religion role as expected above can be answered while the conception of religion currently uses normative approach, a theology that is provided with other various approaches such as anthropological, sociological, psychological, phenomenology, and feminism. Those various approaches, which are operationally conceptual, can give solutions to occurred problems. The Islamic religion study using feminism approach is expected to bring Islam back as a hospitable religion for women.
