This book is an anthropologist's field study of the new court set
up in Singapore to deal with matrimonial suits (chiefly divorce)
among Muslims. The study is based on careful observation of the
court in action, and analyses in detail the relationship between
the reformist aims of the new law and the values and expectations
of litigants. The book takes its departure from the argument
developed in Dr Djamour's earlier work, Malay Kinship and Mamage in
Singapore (Athlone Press, 1959; paperback edition 1965), and
discusses the effect of recent attempts to promote the stability of
Muslim marriage. Social scientists, lawyers, students of Islam, and
those interested in Malayan problems will find in this book the
same qualities that distinguished Dr Djamour's previous study --
lively and sympathetic descriptive powers joined to an ability for
clear factual analysis.
