<![CDATA[The requirement of two female witnesses in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 282 frequently serves as a flashpoint in debates surrounding gender equality within Islamic jurisprudence. This provision is often misconstrued as a permanent devaluation of women's intellectual agency and human dignity. Employing a qualitative library research methodology, this study examines the nuanced interpretations of the verse by comparing four distinct scholarly perspectives. The analysis demonstrates a diverse spectrum of thought: literalist approaches treat the rule as an immutable mandate, classical jurisprudence situates it within judicial prerequisites and civil law boundaries, sociological readings view it as practical advice contextualized by historical periods of limited female economic involvement, and linguistic analyses highlight its intent as a legal safeguard for certainty rather than an assertion of gender hierarchy. Ultimately, the study reveals that the Quran does not institutionalize gender discrimination; rather, the variety of interpretive outcomes illustrates the textual adaptability to evolving contexts and analytical frameworks.]]>
