Whether from the perspective of Islamic law's advocates, secularism's partisans, or publics caught in the crossfire, many people see the relationship between Islam and secularism as antagonistic. Moreover, the relationship between Islamic law and secularism seems increasingly discordant, with recent developments in the United States (e.g., calls for "shari'a bans" in U.S. courts), Western Europe (such as legal limitations on headscarves and mosques), and the Arab Middle East (such as conflicts between secularist old-guards and Islamist revolutionaries) indicating that unsteady coexistences are transforming into outright hostilities. This book's exploration of an Indian non-state system of Muslim dispute resolution-formally known as the dar ul qaza system, but commonly referred to as a system of "Muslim courts" or "shariat courts"-challenges conventional narratives about the inevitable opposition between Islamic law and secular forms of governance, and the impossibility of their coexistence. Moreover, it demonstrates how secular law and governance in India does not and cannot work without the significant assistance of non-state Islamic legal actors. For example, the conciliation-oriented Indian family court system is insufficient for handling divorce petitions brought by Muslim women seeking to unilaterally disassociate from their Muslim husbands. This volume shows how in these situations and others, Indian state secularism needs the Islamic non-state-so much so that this intense need often erupts into a complicated set of love-hate politics towards India's Muslims"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Law $z India $x Islamic influences. 650 0 $a Islamic law $z India. 650 0 $a Legal polycentricity $z India. 650 0 $a Muslims $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z India. 650 0 $a Domestic relations $z India. 650 0 $a Islamic courts $z India. 650 7 $a Domestic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896646 650 7 $a Islamic courts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730307 650 7 $a Islamic law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979949 650 7 $a Law $x Islamic influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993761 650 7 $a Legal polycentricity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995519 650 7 $a Muslims $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031055 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 776 08 $i Online version: $a Redding, Jeff $t A secular need $b 1st. $d Seattle : University of Washington Press, 2020. $z 9780295747095 $w (DLC) 2019041016 830 0 $a Global South Asia. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013541.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA3AAC32B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
