This volume critically analyses Muslim Personal Law (MPL) in India
and offers an alternative perspective to look at MPL and the
Uniform Civil Code (UCC) debate. Tracing the historical origins of
this legal mechanism and its subsequent political manifestations,
it highlights the complex nature of MPL as a sociological
phenomenon, driven by context-specific social norms and cultural
values. With expert contributions, it discusses wide-ranging themes
and issues including MPL reforms and human rights; decoding of UCC
in India; the contentious Triple Talaq bill and MPL; the Shah Bano
case; Sharia (Islamic jurisprudence) in postcolonial India; women's
equality and family laws; and MPL in the media discourse in India.
The volume highlights that although MPL is inextricably linked to
Sharia, it does not necessarily determine the everyday customs and
local practices of Muslim communities in India This topical book
will greatly interest scholars and researchers of law and
jurisprudence, political studies, Islamic studies, Muslim Personal
Law, history, multiculturalism, South Asian studies, sociology of
religion, sociology of law and family law. It will also be useful
to practitioners, policymakers, law professionals and journalists.
