Download or read book Women and Muslim Family Laws in Arab States written by Lynn Welchman and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of Arab states have recently either codified Muslim family law for the first time, or have issued amendments or new laws which significantly impact the statutory rights of women as wives, mothers and daughters. In Women and Muslim Family Laws in Arab States Lynn Welchman examines women's rights in Muslim family laws in Arab states across the Middle East while also surveying the public debates surrounding the issues. The author considers these new laws alongside older statutes to comment on the patterns and dynamics of change both in the texts of the laws, and in the processes through by which they are drafted and issued. She draws on original legal texts and explanatory statements as well as on extensive secondary literature particular to certain states for an insight into practice, and on; interventions by women's rights organizations and other parties to the debate in the press and in advocacy materials. The discussions are set in the contemporary global context that 'internationalises' the domestic and regional debates.The book considers laws in states from the Gulf to North Africa in regard to their approaches to issues of codification processes and issues of and of registration, capacity and guardianship in marriage, polygyny, the marital relationship, divorce and child custody. -- Publisher description.

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 Divorces in Europe written by Pauline Kruiniger and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The focus of this study is on the issue of the recognition of Islamic divorces established abroad, in European states. 'Islamic divorces' is used for pragmatic reasons as a collective term in this study. The term 'divorces' covers the most common, formal modalities of dissolution of marriage by the act of one or both parties or by judicial process. The term does not include informal arrangements to dissolve the marriage, so it does not include divorces that are not lawfully established. 'Islamic' refers to their establishment in mostly Muslim-majority countries with legislation that incorporates, at least to some extent, laws and customs that originate in the legal subject matter of the Shari'a. One should realize, however, that the Islamic law or the Islamic divorce does not exist, as this study will also demonstrate.'
Download or read book Women the Koran and International Human Rights Law written by Niaz A. Shah and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion plays a pivotal role in the way women are treated around the world, socially and legally. This book discusses three Islamic human rights approaches: secular, non-compatible, reconciliatory (compatible), and proposes a contextual interpretive approach. It is argued that the current gender discriminatory statutory Islamic laws in Islamic jurisdictions, based on the decontextualised interpretation of the Koran, can be reformed through "Ijtihad": independent individual reasoning. It is claimed that the original intention of the Koran was to protect the rights of women and raise their status in society, not to relegate them to subordination. This Koranic intention and spirit may be recaptured through the proposed contextual interpretation which in fact means using an Islamic (or insider) strategy to achieve gender equality in Muslim states and greater compatibility with international human rights law. It discusses the negative impact of the so-called statutory Islamic laws of Pakistan on the enjoyment of women's human rights and robustly challenges their Koranic foundation. While supporting the international human rights regime, this book highlights the challenges to its universality: feminism and cultural relativism. To achieve universal application, genuine voices from different cultures and groups must be accommodated. It is argued that the women's human rights regime does not cover all issues of concern to women and has a weak implementation mechanism. The book argues for effective implementation procedures to turn women's human rights into reality.

This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2019; New English Latest Edition Marriage is said to be the union of two people and is seen as the purest and oldest institution in India. The object of marriage for every religion is different. For example, marriage in Hindus is considered to be a ‘dharma’, but every religion places an obligation to get married for some or other reason. Where marriages among Hindus are considered a sacred institution, marriage among Muslims is seen as a contract. Unlike Hindu Law, Mohamedan Law, or Muslim Law is not codified. This leads to chaos and confusion regarding the various ceremonies and authenticity of various things related to marriage, like consent, age, divorce, maintenance, etc. In order to deal with different problems that arose due to the non-codification of Muslim law, the parliament passed various acts. The article explains all these acts and their important provisions. It also describes the nature and essential conditions of a Muslim marriage. Nature of Muslim marriage Marriage in Muslim law is known as Nikah. It is an Arabic word which means “union of two people”. Baillie’s Digest defines Muslim marriage as a contract done to legalise sexual relationships and the procreation of children, while on the other hand, in Hedaya (a guide or commentary on Islamic Law), nikah means carnal conjunction in its primitive sense. As said by the Prophet of Islam, marriage is his sunna (practices of the Prophet Muhammad) and his followers must obey his practices and follow them properly. When we talk about the nature of Muslim marriage, a question that always arises is whether it is a sacrament or a contract. Some jurists opined that marriage in Muslims is a civil contract while others argue that it has a sacrament attached to itself. Thus, while studying the nature of Muslim marriage, three different aspects are taken into consideration. These are: Legal aspect Social aspect Religious aspect Legal aspect of Muslim marriage The legal aspect says that among Muslims, marriage is a civil contract because it has similar characteristics to a contract. These are: Like a contract, there is a proposal i.e., Ijab by one party and acceptance i.e., Qubul by the other party. In a contract-free consent plays an important role. Similarly, there can be no marriage without the consent of the parties, and such consent must not be obtained through fraud, coercion, force or undue influence. If a minor is married by their guardians, then the minor has a right to repudiate the marriage on attaining the age of majority, which is the same as the age of puberty in Muslims. This option of puberty is also known as khyar-ul-bulugh. Similarly, a contract entered into by a guardian on behalf of a minor can be set aside or controlled by him on attaining a majority. The parties to a marriage are allowed to enter into any kind of ante-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement if it is enforceable by law. The only condition is that it must be reasonable and not contrary to their religion. The terms of marriage in the nikahnama can be altered according to the wishes of the bride and groom, but it must be within the limits of the law. In the case of Abdul Kadir v. Salima (1886), it was held that Muslim marriage is a contract and not a sacrament.
