This volume examines early Islamic theories and practices of
breastfeeding, their long-term social implications and their impact
on the lives of women and children. In the light of the impediments
to marriage created, according to Islamic law, by nonmaternal
breastfeeding, the author also explores the role they have played
in wider circles of social life: how they influenced the way
relations between different families were established, reduced the
occurence of endogamous marriages, and created semiprivate
spaces.
This is the first comprehensive research, within western
Islamology, devoted to the subject, serving as it were as a link
between Women's History and History of Childhood. It is based on a
wide range of religious sources - from Qur'an, Qur'an exegesis,
through "hadith to legal writings - as well as on medieval Arabic
medical compilations.
