Book Synopsis Marriage, Money and Divorce in Medieval Islamic Society by : Yossef Rapoport
Download or read book Marriage, Money and Divorce in Medieval Islamic Society written by Yossef Rapoport and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-04-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High rates of divorce, often taken to be a modern and western phenomenon, were also typical of medieval Islamic societies. By pitting these high rates of divorce against the Islamic ideal of marriage,Yossef Rapoport radically challenges usual assumptions about the legal inferiority of Muslim women and their economic dependence on men. He argues that marriages in late medieval Cairo, Damascus and Jerusalem had little in common with the patriarchal models advocated by jurists and moralists. The transmission of dowries, women's access to waged labour, and the strict separation of property between spouses made divorce easy and normative, initiated by wives as often as by their husbands. This carefully researched work of social history is interwoven with intimate accounts of individual medieval lives, making for a truly compelling read. It will be of interest to scholars of all disciplines concerned with the history of women and gender in Islam.

Book Synopsis Islamic Interpretive Tradition and Gender Justice by : Nevin Reda
Download or read book Islamic Interpretive Tradition and Gender Justice written by Nevin Reda and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, Muslim women reformers have made great strides in critiquing and reinterpreting the Islamic tradition. Yet these achievements have not produced a significant shift in the lived experience of Islam, particularly with respect to equality and justice in Muslim families. A new approach is needed: one that examines the underlying instruments of tradition and explores avenues for effecting change. In Islamic Interpretive Tradition and Gender Justice leading intellectuals and emerging researchers grapple with the problem of entrenched positions within Islam that affect women, investigating the processes by which interpretations become authoritative, the theoretical foundations upon which they stand, and the ways they have been used to inscribe and enforce gender limitations. Together, they argue that the Islamic interpretive tradition displays all the trappings of canonical texts, canonical figures, and canon law – despite the fact that Islam does not ordain religious authorities who could sanction processes of canonization. Through this lens, the essays in this collection offer insights into key issues in Islamic feminist scholarship, ranging from interreligious love, child marriage, polygamy, and divorce to stoning, segregation, seclusion, and gender hierarchies. Rooting their analysis in the primary texts and historical literature of Islam, contributors to Islamic Interpretive Tradition and Gender Justice contest oppressive interpretative canons, subvert classical methodologies, and provide new directions in the ongoing project of revitalizing Islamic exegesis and its ethical and legal implications.
Book Synopsis Child Marriage in Nigeria: Human Rights and the Islamic Law Perspectives by : Ammar Badmus
Download or read book Child Marriage in Nigeria: Human Rights and the Islamic Law Perspectives written by Ammar Badmus and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an attempt to deal with Child Marriage in the perspective of Human Rights Laws and Islamic Law with a view to laying bare the two positions and giving possible solution(s) to create a successful meeting point on the issue of Child Marriage which has triggered such controversies and debate in Nigeria and the world at large.The issue of Child Marriage is a highly charged, sensitive, controversial and emotional matter. This controversy surrounding Child Marriage in Nigeria became more prominent when the former Governor of Zamfara State married a 13year old Egyptian girl-child. Against the backdrop of this provocative marriage is the debate that was later generated on the floor of the Senate where the same Senator and some others reportedly argued for the recognition of Child Marriage. The methodology of this research will be based on historical, analytical and doctrinal approaches in gathering related data. Data so collected would be scrutinized and discussed in order to reach a logical conclusion. The work has examined the problem of child marriage in Nigeria as regards its position under the Human Rights laws and Islamic Law perspectives thereby shedding more light on the lacuna and contradictions apparent in the Human Right laws and the provisions of the Shariah on child marriage. A brief Constitutional position on the issue of child marriage is discussed in this work and the conclusion was made that there is a need for the government to take active responsibility in determining the age of a minor in relation to child marriage based on socio-religious lifestyle of Nigerians and the realities of womanhood. It is with sincere belief and hope that readers are benefited greatly with this research work and the fact that this work is assumed to be a pioneer academic research on this topic, it is expected that more work that look into other areas that have not been captured by this work would be written and published. The author would be gratified by such further works on this issues or related topics.Thank you for your attention and time.Ammar Olaide BadmusJan' 2020

Book Synopsis The Islamic Marriage Contract by : Asifa Quraishi
Download or read book The Islamic Marriage Contract written by Asifa Quraishi and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that marriage in Islamic law is a civil contract, not a sacrament. If this is so, this means that the marriage contract is largely governed by the same rules as other contracts, such as sale or hire. But at the same time marriage is a profound concern of the Islamic scriptures of Qur’an and Sunna, and thus at the very core of the law and morality of Islam and of the individual, familial, and social life of Muslims. This volume collects papers from many disciplines examining the Muslim marriage contract. Articles cover doctrines as to marriage contracts (e.g., may a wife stipulate monogamy?); historical instances (e.g., legal advice from thirteenth-century Spain); comparisons with Jewish and canon law; contemporary legal and social practice; and projects of activists for women worldwide. Demonstrating a new and powerful focus for comparative and historical inquiries into Islamic law and social practices, this book marks a fresh point of departure for the study of Muslim women.
Book Synopsis The Rulings on Marriage, Divorce, Custody and Adoption in Classical Islamic Law by : Recep Dogan
Download or read book The Rulings on Marriage, Divorce, Custody and Adoption in Classical Islamic Law written by Recep Dogan and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is an age-old social institution regulated by rulings that have been established according to society, culture and religion. Islam promotes marriage between a man and a woman as a lawful way for them to reproduce and satisfy their sexual desires. In Islam, men and women are equal and marriage affords a way for them to complete each other. Islam does not accept a celibate lifestyle as a way of being more pious, as this goes against the human nature ordained by God. Through marriage, men and women become a source of comfort, rest and happiness for each other.This book explains from a classical viewpoint the rulings on marriage, divorce, custody and other important topics regarding Islamic family law. It explains how the early scholars developed their juristic opinions regarding family law according to the needs of the Muslims of their time.This book is divided into 14 chapters, which explain various aspects of family law. The first chapter introduces family law and explains the goal of the book, marriage in its historical context, how Islamic law was established and how Muslim jurists develop their juristic opinions. The book gives information on key concepts such as the nikāḫ (marriage contract), the basic principles of marriage, the rules of engagement and the etiquette of the marital sexual relationship. In Islam there is specific legislation regarding who is lawful to marry and what type of marriage contracts are permitted. These topics are explained in two chapters, which include those who are unlawful to marry and forbidden marriage contracts. Another important topic that is dealt with is guardians, agency, and equality in marriage. After this, mahr (dowry) and its rulings are explained in detail from the classical viewpoint. The following chapters deal with the topics of the marriage of non-Muslims and their status in Islamic law; breastfeeding (raḏā) and its rulings; adoption in Islam and its relevance to contemporary Muslims; divorce, its mechanism and related rulings; custody, maintenance and alimony. These are all explained from the viewpoint of classical Islamic law. The final chapter discusses contemporary issues relevant to today's Muslims and offers some analysis and criticism as well as solutions.
Book Synopsis Wives and Work by : Marion Holmes Katz
Download or read book Wives and Work written by Marion Holmes Katz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely held today that classical Islamic law frees wives from any obligation to do housework. Wives’ purported exemption from domestic labor became a talking point among Muslims responding to Orientalist stereotypes of the “oppressed Muslim woman” by the late nineteenth century, and it has been a prominent motif in writings by Muslim feminists in the United States since the 1980s. In Wives and Work, Marion Holmes Katz offers a new account of debates on wives’ domestic labor that recasts the historical relationship between Islamic law and ethics. She reconstructs a complex discussion among Sunni legal scholars of the ninth to fourteenth centuries CE and examines its wide-ranging implications. As early as the ninth century, the prevalent doctrine that wives had no legal duty to do housework stood in conflict with what most scholars understood to be morally and religiously right. Scholars’ efforts to resolve this tension ranged widely, from drawing a clear distinction between legal claims and ethical ideals to seeking a synthesis of the two. Katz positions legal discussion within a larger landscape of Islamic normative discourse, emphasizing how legal models diverge from, but can sometimes be informed by, philosophical ethics. Through the lens of wives’ domestic labor, this book sheds new light on notions of family, labor, and gendered personhood as well as the interplay between legal and ethical doctrines in Islamic thought.
