Its the same for a man or a woman. In the U.S., most states require a contract as well. That is the ‘marriage certificate’ that is filed with the clerk of the court. However, it is still necessary that the marraige be solemnized by someone, whether it be a justice of the peace or a minister of some sort. Its not any different in Islam. When we get married in the United States, we are still required to get the same civil marriage certificate from the clerk of the court in the place where we live. However, we then have our marriages solemnized by an Imam and we sign a muslim marriage contract called a nikah khat. The Islamic marriage contract has a provision in it for a dowry to the woman. Sometimes its land or money or something of substantial value that she gets in case of divorce. Islam allowed a woman to own property (in this way it was different from Christianity and Judaism) and this property is specified in the contract. Maybe that is what he meant by it protecting the woman.
