Like many beliefs, religious views matter across an individual's
life and the life cycle of a family - from birth to marriage,
through child-rearing, and, eventually, death. This volume examines
clashes over religious liberty within the personal realm of the
family. Against swirling religious beliefs, secular values, and
legal regulation, this volume offers a forward-looking examination
of tensions between religious freedom and the state's protective
function. Contributors unpack some of the Court's recent decisions
and explain how they set the stage for ongoing disputes. They
evaluate religious claims around birth control, circumcision,
modesty, religious education, marriage, polygamy, shared parenting,
corporal punishment, faith healing, divorce, and the end of life.
Authors span legislators, attorneys, academics, journalists,
ministers, physicians, child advocates, and representatives of
minority faiths. The Contested Place of Religion in Family Law
begins an overdue conversation on questions dividing the nation.
