Interpreting divorce laws in islam

Denne engelske antologis formål er at udforske, hvordan ligestilling i forbindelse med skilsmisser mellem muslimske mænd og kvinder fortolkes inden for forskellige juridiske og teoretiske rammer.

Lovgivningen er forskellig fra det ene til det andet muslimske land. Bogen repræsenterer disse forskelligheder med et bredt udvalg af bidragsydere. Endvidere fremhæver bogen de dilemmaer muslimske kvinder står med i forbindelse med en muslimsk skilsmisselovgivning i de vestlige lande, hvor reglerne omkring skilsmisser typisk er blandet op med andre systemer af love.
