“Human rights advocates across the world note that religious justification, especially one that has no legitimate basis in Quran, does not excuse the brutal treatment of women and human rights violations.”
Unfortunately the Quran includes plenty of justification for the abuse of women. In at least one surah its outright ordered by god. One of the main problems the quran faces as a religious text is that it is meant to be the literal words of god and cannot be re-interpreted as a human opinion or mistranslation. Some very bad things are stated as direct moral imperatives given by the creator of the universe.
