In Egypt's modern history, reform of personal status laws has often
formed an integral part of political, cultural, and religious
contestations among different factions of society. From the
beginning of the twenty-first century, two significant reforms were
introduced in Egyptian personal status laws: women's right to
petition for no-fault judicial divorce law (khul') and the new
mediation-based family courts.Legal Reform and Gender Justice
examines the interplay between legal reform and gender norms and
practices. It examines the processes of advocating for, and
contesting the khul' and new family courts laws, shedding light on
the agendas and strategies of the various actors involved. It also
examines the ways in which women and men have made use of these
legal reforms; how judges and other court personnel have
interpreted and implemented them; and how the reforms may have
impacted women and men's understandings, expectations, and
strategies when navigating marriage and spousal roles.Drawing on an
extensive four-year field study, Al-Sharmani highlights the
complexities and mixed impacts of legal reform, not only as a
mechanism of claiming gender rights but also as a system of
meanings that shape, destabilize, or transform gender norms and
practices.
