I had questions about this topic and looked for some videos online one by Nounan Ali Khan regarding this, he disregarded this and was like think about the lady in China, I'm sure she would agree and like this treatment more. ??? And then another video by another sheikh who was like this is what makes Islam beutiful, why question it, why demonize it. We aren't as inhuman as Christians that believe that you can rape your slave and impregnate her, and she won't be free and your children would automatically be slaves. In Islam if you impregnate a slave woman, you automatically liable former her well-being and liable for the child as it your own. It wasn't as bad but it was still bad. You can argue that slaves somewhat had rights in comparison but as a woman and a human being I will never justify rape.
