It shows how dishonest you are that you leave out;
"A woman becomes subservient to her husband and needs his permission to: "leave the house, take up employment, or to engage in fasting or forms of worship other than what is obligatory."
An unmarried woman is under the guardianship of her nearest male relative."
No wait. You're right. You've researched your position thoroughly. Women are totally on equal footing with men under Sharia. You're
embarrassing yourself.

No. Sharia =/= wahhabism. They're talking about Sharia law. Many countries (with low numbers of wahhabists (basically any country outside the Arabic Pennisula)) have Sharia as the primary law. And I don't see how wahhabist countries having Sharia discredits the fact that women have less rights under it.
I'm going to love this. You're the one that needs to do their research. Since 2000, the (57!) members of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) have decided to to abandon the UDHR and follow their own Cairo Declaration - which is modified to fit in acccordance with Sharia. Wiki so helpfully sums it up as "reaffirming the inequalities inherent in Islamic law and tradition in terms of religion, gender, sexuality". YOU do the research.
