Majority Muslim countries give women varying degrees of rights with regards to marriage, divorce, civil rights, legal status, dress code, and education based on different interpretations. Scholars and other commentators vary as to whether they are just and whether they are a correct interpretation of religious imperatives. Conservatives argue that differences between men and women are due to different status and responsibilities assigned in the Koran, while liberal Muslims, Muslim feminists, and others argue in favor of other interpretations. Some women have achieved high political office in Muslim majority states. A 2007 Gallup poll appeared to demonstrate that the majority of Muslims (both men and women) in both Muslim-majority countries (Egypt, Iran and Saudi Arabia) and non-Muslim countries (France, Germany, United Kingdom and United States), support women having equal rights, both socially and politically. This assertion is complicated by the condition that a woman must conform to certain Islamic rules. These include the conditions that the women keeps her own earnings and also share half her husband's earnings.
