Written from an ethnographic perspective, this book investigates
the socio-legal aspects of Islamic jurisprudence in Gaza-Palestine.
It examines the way judges, lawyers and litigants operate with
respect to the law and with each other, particularly given their
different positions in the power structure within the court and
within society at large. The book aims at elucidating ambivalences
in the codified statutes that allow the actors to find practical
solutions to their (often) legally unresolved problems and to
manipulate the law. The book demonstrates that present-day judges
are not only confronted with novel questions they have to find an
answer to, but, perhaps more importantly, they are confronted with
contradictions between the letter of codified law and their own
notions of justice. The author reminds us that these notions of
justice should not be set a priori; they are socially constructed
in particular time and space. Making a substantial contribution to
a number of theoretical debates on family law and gender, the book
will appeal to both academic and non-academic readers alike.
