Abstract

The concept of female witness can be seen in two perspectives: first from the Islamic law, and second from a positive law. In the perspective of mainstream Islamic law, most Muslim scholars favor for not giving equal status and rights for women with that of men in acting as witnesses. The inequality is found in the number of male!female witnesses. A male alone can be a witness, while for female needs to be at least two women in order to make their witnesses legally sound. In the Indonesian positive law however, such distinction of number requirement is not found, and therefore a male and or a female can be a witness.

Abstract

There are two main arguments advanced in this article. Firstly, regarding the image of women perpetuated lry mass media, and secondly why media is not showing gender sensitivity when developing women images. In general mass media portray women in one amongst these five images: women image as a frame, as a column, as an available 'bed', as a saucer and an image of friendship. These images are developed and became popular within a patriarchal culture because men define women as such, and women have no power to disagree. The author proposes that today's women readers must apply more critical view in reading and analyzing the content of mass media, especially with regard to women's images.
