Who has the power to initiate and resist sharia derived divorce? When are husbands and wives made to bear the costs of their marital breakdown? What does divorce law indicate about the development of gender regimes in the Middle East and North Africa? This book opens with a description of the historical development of Islamic divorce in the MENA. Subsequent chapters follow a Syrian male judge, a Moroccan female legal advice worker and a Libyan female judge as they deal with divorce cases in which husbands, wives, their relatives and lawyers debate gender roles in contemporary Muslim marriages. MENA 'state feminism' has increasingly equalized men's and women's access to divorce and encouraged discussions about how spouses should treat each other in marriage. The real life outcomes of these reforms have often been surprising. Moreover, as the last chapter explores, jihadi proto-states (such as Islamic State) have violently rejected state feminist divorce law reform. This accessible book will appeal to students, researchers and a general readership interested in Islamic law; Middle Eastern studies; gender and sexuality; and, legal and social anthropology"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Divorce $x Law and legislation $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Divorce (Islamic law) $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Marriage (Islamic law) $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Muslim women $z Middle East $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Divorce (Islamic law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895870 650 7 $a Divorce $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895818 650 7 $a Marriage (Islamic law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010549 650 7 $a Muslim women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031015 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 650 7 $a RELIGION / Islam / General. $2 bisacsh 651 7 $a Middle East. $0 (NL-LeOCL)078590906 $2 gtt 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Carlisle, Jessica. $t Muslim Divorce in the Middle East. $d Cham : Palgrave Macmillan UK, 2018 $z 9783319770079 $w (OCoLC)1045563650 830 0 $a Gender and politics (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014009.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=245927B22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
