This book was originally published in 1985. Beginning with the
Qur'an, Abdelwahab Bouhdiba confronts the question of male
supremacy in Islam, and the strict separation of the masculine and
the feminine. He gives an account of purification practices, of
Islamic attitudes towards homosexuality, concubinage, legal
marriage and of the sexual taboos laid down by the Qur'an. He
assesses present-day sexual practice, including eroticism, misogyny
and mysticism and concludes that the sexual alienation - and even
oppression - of modern Muslim women is the result not of the
Islamic vision of sexuality, but of social and economic pressures.
