Will Female Judges Prove a Boon For Muslim Women? 

Palestine now has something that only the Sudan has among all the Muslim nations. They now have two women judges.

In a culture who's law looks down on women, and favors men in almost every venture, 

Khuloud Faqih, 34, and Asmahan Wuheidi, 31 have stepped in, hoping to offer women legal empathy where they never had it before.

Although they can't change the law that is written with male bias, they can offer women a court of comfort and security. When it comes to matters of divorce, some women will tell a female judge things that they wouldn't tell a man. 

"Where I can make decisions that help women obtain better rights, I will," Faqih said.
