In many regions of the world, rights guaranteed under the civil
law, including rights to gender equality within marriage and rights
in the distribution of family property and child custody upon
divorce, are in conflict with the principles of religious law.
Women's rights issues are often at the heart of these tensions,
which present pressing challenges for theorists, lawyers, and
policymakers.
This anthology brings together leading scholars and activists doing
innovative work in Jewish law, Muslim law, Christian law, and
African customary law. Using examples drawn from a variety of
nations and religions, they interrogate the utility of recent
theoretical models for engaging with gender and multicultural
conflicts, explore contextual differences, and analyze and
celebrate stories of successful initiatives that have transformed
legal and cultural norms to improve women's lives.
