👉 Obnubilation is a concept in Islamic law that refers to the practice of converting women into male virgins, often for their own benefit. This can be seen as an attempt by some Muslim clerics and political leaders to control and manipulate women's sexuality and fertility. The term itself comes from the Arabic word "obna", meaning "to make a woman a slave or subject". It has been criticized for its negative impact on women's rights, including reproductive autonomy and gender equality.
