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.

Download or read book MoneySmart Divorce written by Esther M. Berger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1996 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over one million marriages will end in divorce this year. Over one million women will not live happily ever after. They will, even by conservative estimates, suffer a 24 percent decrease in living standards while their ex-husbands' fortunes drop by 5 percent at most." "Divorce hurts. But it hurts women a lot more than men. Especially from a financial perspective." "The emotional and financial dynamics of divorce are unlike those of any other life transition. Never do money and emotions intersect more painfully than during and immediately following divorce. At no other times are a woman's net worth and her self-worth so completely intertwined. During divorce negotiations, money becomes a symbol of all that has gone wrong in the marriage. Fear, pain, anger, and guilt all culminate in arguments about money." "Money becomes a reward for whoever succeeds at the emotional bartering game. But the emotional wear and tear of divorce often prevents women from making moneysmart decisions that will affect the rest of their lives." "Now Esther M. Berger, a Beverly Hills certified financial planner, offers women at every income level the critical information they need to know before, during, and after divorce. With advice on everything from making the first phone call to an attorney to negotiating alimony and child support to living on a post-divorce budget, MoneySmart Divorce helps you move beyond the emotional turmoil and confusion to discover that there is life after divorce." "MoneySmart Divorce teaches women which professional advisors you need - and how to find them; how to separate your emotions from your money during difficult financial negotiations; how to avoid classic "Divorce Dirty Tricks"; how to use the Two C's and Two D's to negotiate a moneysmart settlement; and how to formulate your own financial plan and make investment decisions that work for you." "The cost of divorce is incredibly high, in both financial and psychological terms. MoneySmart Divorce helps you acknowledge and confront the pain of divorce while at the same time providing the necessary tools for moving forward and taking control of your own financial life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
