This book presents an empirical examination of consent-seeking
among Pashtun Muslims in the Pakistani province of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), to determine whether cultural norms and beliefs
have largely come to diverge from the principles of consent in
Islamic law and jurisprudence. Is culture part of the 'inevitable
decay' to which Max Muller says every religion is exposed? Or - if
rephrased in terms of the research encapsulated within this book -
are cultural beliefs and practises the inevitable decay to which
Islam has been exposed in Muslim societies? Drawing on interviews
with Muslims in Pakistan and Australia, the research broadly
broaches questions around the rights of women in Islam and
contributes to a wider understanding of Muslim social, cultural,
and religious practices in both Muslim majority nations and
diaspora communities. The author disentangles cultural practices
from both religious and universal legal principles, demonstrating
how consent seeking in Pashtun culture generally does not reflect
the spirit or the intent of consent as described in Hanafi law and
jurisprudence. This research will be of interest to students and
scholars across sociology, anthropology, socio-legal studies, and
law, with a focus on Islamically-justified law reform in Muslim
nation states.
