The three Abrahamic faiths have dominated religious conversations
for millennia but the relations between state and religion are in a
constant state of flux. This relationship may be configured in a
number of ways. Religious norms may be enforced by the state as
part of a regime of personal law or, conversely, religious norms
may be formally relegated to the private sphere but can be brought
into the legal realm through the private acts of individuals.
Enhanced recognition of religious tribunals or religious doctrines
by civil courts may create a hybrid of these two models. One of the
major issues in the reconciliation of changing civic ideals with
religious tenets is gender equality, and this is an ongoing
challenge in both domestic and international affairs. Examining
this conflict within the context of a range of issues including
marriage and divorce, violence against women and children, and
women's political participation, this collection brings together a
discussion of the Abrahamic religions to examine the role of
religion in the struggle for women's equality around the world. The
book encompasses both theory and practical examples of how law can
be used to negotiate between claims for gender equality and the
right to religion. It engages with international and regional human
rights norms and also national considerations within countries.
This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers
with an interest in law and religion, gender studies and human
rights law.
