Download or read book Rethinking Muslim Personal Law written by Hilal Ahmed and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume critically analyses Muslim Personal Law (MPL) in India and offers an alternative perspective to look at MPL and the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) debate. Tracing the historical origins of this legal mechanism and its subsequent political manifestations, it highlights the complex nature of MPL as a sociological phenomenon, driven by context-specific social norms and cultural values. With expert contributions, it discusses wide-ranging themes and issues including MPL reforms and human rights; decoding of UCC in India; the contentious Triple Talaq bill and MPL; the Shah Bano case; Sharia (Islamic jurisprudence) in postcolonial India; women’s equality and family laws; and MPL in the media discourse in India. The volume highlights that although MPL is inextricably linked to Sharia, it does not necessarily determine the everyday customs and local practices of Muslim communities in India This topical book will greatly interest scholars and researchers of law and jurisprudence, political studies, Islamic studies, Muslim Personal Law, history, multiculturalism, South Asian studies, sociology of religion, sociology of law and family law. It will also be useful to practitioners, policymakers, law professionals and journalists.

Download or read book Reform of the Muslim Personal Law written by Subhash Chandra Singh and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All legal systems -- whether unitary or plural -- must conform to the international standards of human rights, including gender equality. Muslim personal law legitimizes traditional practices in the name of religion that are inconsistent with expansion of freedom and gender equality. The practical importance of this paper arises from the fact that, despite formal guarantees of equality of rights at both the international and national levels, lives of Muslim women in India continue to be characterized by gender discrimination and substantive inequality in the field of family law. It is interesting to observe that progressive men and women belonging to the Muslim community have already started demanding a change. It is well-known that many Muslim countries have made substantial changes in their personal laws. The changes taking place in other countries which are predominantly Muslim can make an impact on Muslim opinion in this country. If the reform is to be given content and to be meaningful in the lives of Muslim women, it cannot simply be imposed by legal structures external to the community, but must be introduced from within the community, and must begin with socioeconomic and educational empowerment of both men and women of that community.

Download or read book The Politics of Islamic Law written by Iza R. Hussin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Politics of Islamic Law, Iza Hussin compares India, Malaya, and Egypt during the British colonial period in order to trace the making and transformation of the contemporary category of ‘Islamic law.’ She demonstrates that not only is Islamic law not the shari’ah, its present institutional forms, substantive content, symbolic vocabulary, and relationship to state and society—in short, its politics—are built upon foundations laid during the colonial encounter. Drawing on extensive archival work in English, Arabic, and Malay—from court records to colonial and local papers to private letters and visual material—Hussin offers a view of politics in the colonial period as an iterative series of negotiations between local and colonial powers in multiple locations. She shows how this resulted in a paradox, centralizing Islamic law at the same time that it limited its reach to family and ritual matters, and produced a transformation in the Muslim state, providing the frame within which Islam is articulated today, setting the agenda for ongoing legislation and policy, and defining the limits of change. Combining a genealogy of law with a political analysis of its institutional dynamics, this book offers an up-close look at the ways in which global transformations are realized at the local level.
