Download or read book Family Law in Islam written by Maaike Voorhoeve and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In both the West and throughout the Muslim world, Islamic family law is a highly and hotly debated topic. In the Muslim World, the discussions at the heart of these debates are often primarily concerned with the extent to which classical Islamic family law should be implemented in the national legal system, and the impact this has on society. Family Law in Islam highlights these discussions by looking at public debates and legal practice. Using a range of contemporary examples, from polygamy to informal marriage (zawaj 'urfi), and from divorce with mutual agreement (khul') to judicial divorce (tatliq), this wide-ranging and penetrating volume explores the impact of Islamic law on individuals, families and society alike from Morocco to Egypt and from Syria to Iran. It thus contains material of vital importance for researchers of Islamic Law, Politics and Society in the Middle East and North Africa."

Download or read book Islamic Divorce in the Twenty First Century written by Erin E. Stiles and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islamic Divorce in the 21st Century shows the wide range of Muslim experiences in marital disputes and in seeking Islamic divorces. For Muslims, having the ability to divorce in accordance with Islamic law is of paramount importance. However, Muslim experiences of divorce practice differ tremendously. The chapters in this volume discuss Islamic divorce from West Africa to Southeast Asia, and each story explores aspects of the everyday realities of disputing and divorcing Muslim couples face in the twenty-first century. The book’s cross-cultural and comparative look at Islamic divorce indicates that Muslim divorces are impacted by global religious discourses on Islamic authority, authenticity, and gender; by global patterns of and approaches to secularity; and by global economic inequalities and attendant patterns of urbanization and migration. Studying divorce as a mode of Islamic law in practice shows us that the Islamic legal tradition is flexible, malleable, and context-dependent.

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.

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 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.
Download or read book Divorcing Traditions written by Katherine Lemons and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorcing Traditions is an ethnography of Islamic legal expertise and practices in India, a secular state in which Muslims are a significant minority and where Islamic judgments are not legally binding. Katherine Lemons argues that an analysis of divorce in accordance with Islamic strictures is critical to the understanding of Indian secularism. Lemons analyzes four marital dispute adjudication forums run by Muslim jurists or lay Muslims to show that religious law does not muddle the categories of religion and law but generates them. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research conducted in these four institutions—NGO-run women's arbitration centers (mahila panchayats); sharia courts (dar ul-qazas); a Muslim jurist's authoritative legal opinions (fatwas); and the practice of what a Muslim legal expert (mufti) calls "spiritual healing"—Divorcing Traditions shows how secularism is an ongoing project that seeks to establish and maintain an appropriate relationship between religion and politics. A secular state is always secularizing. And yet, as Lemons demonstrates, the state is not the only arbiter of the relationship between religion and law: religious legal forums help to constitute the categories of private and public, religious and secular upon which secularism relies. In the end, because Muslim legal expertise and practice are central to the Indian legal system and because Muslim divorce's contested legal status marks a crisis of the secular distinction between religion and law, Muslim divorce, argues Lemons, is a key site for understanding Indian secularism.
