Since
Torah establishes the moral context of the relationship of husband,
mainly in Deuteronomy 24 but throughout the Pentateuch we can clearly
state that Kristi's statement is logically airtight with respect to the
Bible which claims most of Torah as Scripture.
When
talking about the Bible, Torah, or Qur'an as Scripture it is necessary
to assume God exists, as all clearly state that He does. Whether or not
the men who wrote scripture were divinely inspired (another possibly
false assumption: one author may have been a woman documenting the God
inspired Hebrew culture but probably not directly inspired by God.) The
culture documented in Scripture was dominated by God's laws, morals,
mores, and whims. Therefore the people documenting the culture whether
inspired by God or not were reflecting one God's Culture. Other
cultures may have had entirely different laws, morals, mores and even
different Gods. There are other Gods mentioned in Scripture.
From
Scripture we only know about one culture, which was dominated by God.
We have no documentation of negative attitudes about women in any
culture which preceded or co-existed with the culture of Scripture.
Data from aboriginal cultures and agricultural cultures generally show
that women were at least equal if not specially respected and protected for their
ability to perpetuate the species.
