From antiquity, women were marginalized and treated unfairly in many ways, along with being denied educational rights. The female sex had not initially encouraged to pursue regular education until the latter half of the twentieth century. Although in the modern age, we live now in, several rights that Islam gives to females, particularly educational rights were refused. As per Islamic teachings, it is compulsory to acquire knowledge for all Muslims regardless of their sex. Unfortunately, several communities and religious faiths have a widespread perception regarding Islam that it constrains women from educational opportunities.

In this context, basic sources of Islam will be used to figure out the educational status of the female gender.
