"This is an excellent and rare exploration of a sensitive religious
issue from many perspectives - legal, cultural and political. The
case studies from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand
portray the important and exciting, yet very difficult, negotiation
of Islamic teachings in the changing realities of Southeast Asia,
home to the majority of Muslims in the world. Interreligious
marriage is an important indicator of good relations between
communities in religiously diverse countries. This book will also
be of great interest to students and scholars of religious
pluralism in a Southeast Asian context, which has not been studied
adequately." - Zainal Abidin Bagir, Executive Director, Center for
Religious and Cross-cultural Studies (CRCS), Gadjah Mada
University, Indonesia "The issue of Muslim-non-Muslim marriages has
different connotations in the different Southeast Asian states. For
example, in Thailand it is more a fluid cultural issue but in
Malaysia it reflects great racial schisms with severe legal
implications. This book is a welcome one as it examines the issue
not only from the perspectives of various Southeast Asian nations
but also from so many angles; the legal, historical, social,
cultural, anthropological and philosophical. The work is scholarly,
yet accessible. Underlying it, there is a vital streak of
humanism." - Azmi Sharom, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law,
University of Malaya
