This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, through the British mandate and the establishment of the state of Israel, created a reality in which no Muslim legislator existed in the country. Thus, the chief judge—Qadi al Qudat, due to the dire need for reforms in the Sharia' family law and in order to minimize the intervention of the non-Muslim—Israeli legislator in the divine family law, took it upon himself to initiate the reforms. As such, this experience is considered the world-wide pioneerand unique in its scope. The reforms were done in accordance with the Islamic rules of renewal and are derived from the Islamic jurisprudence—sharia' itself. This process was done in two tracks: first, decisions of the High Court of Appeals would be followed by the lower courts as binding precedents. Second, the president of the High Sharia' court issued judicial decrees guidelines to the lower courts, driven by the Maslaha - the public interest - in various matters of Islamic law such as promoting women status, children's rights and the preservation of Islamic sites and cemeteries sanctity.

Download or read book Marriage on Trial written by Ziba Mir-Hosseini and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 1997-12-31 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the resurgence of Islam as a social and political force, debates over family law reveal the struggle between the forces of traditionalism and modernism. The disparate tendencies within so-called Islamic fundamentalism have in commmon the desire to re-institute Shari'a law, which they regard as the last bastion of the Islamic ideal of social relations. Yet very little is known of the ways in which the Shari'a actually operates in today's Muslim societies. Mir-Hosseini focuses on the dynamics of marriage and its breakdown, as well as the way in which litigants manipulate the law in order to resolve marital disputes and child custody cases. Taking an inter-disciplinaryand approach which straddles law, anthropology, sociology and women's studies, Mir-Hosseini shows how women may turn even the most patriarchal elements of Islamic law to their advantage and achieve their personal marital aims.

Download or read book Islamic Britain written by Philip Lewis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2002-03-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1980s Britain's large Muslim community, a long established but little noticed group, suddenly became visible as controversies involving the education and dress of Muslim schoolgirls, the Rushdie affair and the Gulf War excited huge media interest. Caricatures and misconceptions began to spread and, with political Islam on the march in many Middle Eastern countries, fears of British Muslims becoming a bridgehead in the West for the establishment of an Islamic theocracy began to loom in the popular imagination. How do British Muslims really think about themselves, about their religion and their politics? What dilemmas do they face as they give up the "myth of return" that sustained first-generation immigrants and struggle to define a British Islam? In this important book, the first major study of British Muslims, Philip Lewis deals with the reality behind distorted media images through a rich, first-hand account of the Muslim community in Bradford - the city which became the epicentre of British Muslim anger and resistance to "The Satanic Verses".
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 Triple Talaq written by Furqan Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long standing controversy among various group of ulamaa on the issue of 'triple talaq' once again has become a burning issue and is hotly debated. A fatwa (juristic verdict) on the issue which appeared before the national press flared up the controversy. Last year three Muftis of Jamat Ahl-i Hadith, according to their Maslak (Law), gave a verdict holding three pronouncements of talaq, all together at single sitting as not to be considered effective under Shariah which requires an interval of one month between one pronouncement and the other, as the procedure of talaq, as mentioned in the Quran. On April 15, justice H.N. Tilhari of the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court pronounced that the practice of uttering the word 'Talaq' at one go to effect an 'irrevocable' divorce was both unconstitutional and illegal. This judgement worked as fuel to fire and increased the intensity of the debate. The book does not go into the intricacies of the contents of the judgement. But the view of Ahl-i Hadith ulamaa which is known to all on the issue is indeed thought-provoking for our Hanafi ulamaa of the time. The object of the present study is to examine afresh the longstanding controversy over this topic and to seek a solution acceptable to people of divergent views. The work is based on primary books of Islamic jurisprudence and primary source of Islamic fiqh are consulted to present the true picture of law on the subject. The book would be useful not only for students and researchers of Islamic law but will also help lawyers and judges in dealing with cases according to the letter and spirit of Shariah.

Download or read book Muslim Marriage in Western Courts written by Pascale Fournier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyses the notion of Mahr, the Muslim custom whereby the groom has to give a gift to the bride in consideration of the marriage. It explores how Western courts, specifically in Canada, the United States, France, and Germany, have approached and interpreted Mahr. Although the outcomes of the cases provide an illustrative framework for the book, the focus is broader than simply the adjudicative endeavours. The work explores the concept of liberalism, which purportedly champions individuals and individual choice concurrently with freedom and equality. Tensions between and among these concepts, however, inevitably arise. The acknowledgment and exploration of these intertwined tensions forms an important underpinning for the book. Through the analysis of case law from these four countries, this study suggests that transplanting Mahr from Islamic law into a Western courtroom cannot be undone: it immediately becomes rooted in the countries' legal, historical, political, and social backgrounds and flourishes (or fails) in diverse and unexpected ways. Rather than being the concept described by classical Islamic jurists, Mahr is interpreted according to wildly varied legal constructs and concepts such as multiculturalism, fairness, public policy, and gender equality. Moreover, Islamic law travels with a multiplicity of voices, and it is this complex hybridity (a fragmented and disjointed Mahr) which will be mediated through Western law. Returning to the overarching concept of liberalism, the book proposes that distributive consequences rather than recognition occupy central place in the evaluation of the legal options available to Muslim women upon divorce.
