In popular debates about reproductive and sexual rights, formal
religions, especially Islam, are seen as barriers providing
institutional and ideological resistance to women's realization of
reproductive and social autonomy. This book challenges this
simplified view of Islam. Based on original fieldwork in Eastern
Indonesia, the book explores the complex factors that affect how
young Indonesian women form their sexual subjectivities, discusses
the cultural and historical conditions under which single Muslim
women repress or express their sexuality, and examines how the
cultural context, including other factors besides Islam,
simultaneously influence the ways in which young single women
approach courtship, and issues of sexuality and reproductive
health. It demonstrates that Islam is neither alone in trying to
control female sexuality, nor entirely successful in doing so.
